Help wanted crashing win32 client

[Use_less]

I can't crash the win32 client on my machine, and so if you can consistently make the client crash, I'd like you to get some drmingw debug output for me.

1. Grab this version of freeciv which I've compiled myself with full debug symbols:

[url=ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming/freeciv-debugsymbols-20040810.zip]ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming/freeciv-debugsymbols-20040810.zip[/url]

(I sure hope I included all the required dlls. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] )

2. Grab mingw-utils from [url=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82721&release_id=158859]http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82721&release_id=158859[/url] and install drmingw by typing "drmingw -i" from the command line.

3. Run the full debug symbols version of freeciv until it crashes and runs drmingw.

4. Copy the resulting drmingw input and either post it here or send it to me.

I ran it for 30 mins with 6 AI and no crashes... anyway I think the more pressing problem is how the UI sucks compared to the GTK version [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

[AtmaWeapon]

Yeah, I agree. The UI is pretty bad compared to the GTK2 one.

I found a strange bug in the windows native unstable version.
Nothing happened when I tried the Connect with Road and Connect with Irrigation orders on workers (Shift+Ctrl+I and Shift+Ctrl+R).
It didn't work when I clicked my way into "Orders" either.

I guess this method is kind of outdated, since the Crash.RPT of beta6 gives the same result.

Anyway, I ran it till it get the same weird close buttons that are labeled with "0" instead of "close" in the city dialog, and some city dialogs resize screen high. It seems to happen after I start clicking on where the people in the ciyt work when removing some from a tile. Quite similar to what I saw with 2.0.0-beta6. Guess i should try beta7 [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
