mixxx dumps core

...on 8.3-RELEASE-p3 amd64. When started from console all I get is:
Code:
[pacija@kaa:~]> mixxx 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm not that familiar with debugger, got this:
Code:
[pacija@kaa:~]> gdb -core=mixxx.core

I'd really like to skip traktor for this autumn's mix and go open source. Any suggestions how to get mixxx working?
 
I have to say I am quite disappointed by lack of support regarding this issue. I started this thread almost half of year ago, no answer so far. I reported bug on launchpad, the conversation stuck. I asked on freebsd-ports mailing list, no answer.

Is there anything else I can do to have this port working or at least mark it broken, besides spending ten years to teach myself programming and fixing it myself?
 
Did you open a PR for it? This forum does not address port build problems, usually. That's what port maintainers need to address, though this port looks abandoned (seeing as it's maintained by ports@).
 
Just checked Freshports and it seems to have been updated last month to the newest version available, so it seems that it is still being maintained. I am building the mixxx port from source now. Let me see if it works any better on FreeBSD 9.1.
 
I am on 9.1-STABLE #0 r247570 amd64 now. I have mixxx compiled from ports:

Mixxx is software for DJ'ing. You can use wave based audio files, Ogg Vorbis
and MP3 files as audio input.  Mixxx can be controlled through the GUI and
with external controllers including MIDI devices, joysticks, and more.

Hmmmm, that would be the same as what I was seeing as well.

I deleted it and tried recompiling from ports and also from the source tarball from their site, but now seem to have buggered my python install. I will try to do some clean up and attempt to build it from source again once I have a clean system.
 
Nice work.

I won't have much time until tomorrow night again but now that I have a rebuilt clean system I will create a jail and try getting mixxx to compile from their Linux source tarball. Might be something simple going wrong. Maybe we'll get lucky and figure out what the problem is and then add it to the PR info so the port maintainer can fix as well.

I have been getting into some DJing myself a little and would love to see this working on FreeBSD as well.
 
As suggested try $ mixxx >& mixxx-error-output.txt and then send that to the maintainer.

There is also the dependencies and to how they were built.

I have not had time to fully test mixxx as of this posting. 9.X will build qt while 10.X has a few problems.

So, here goes: You need to see what was built with OpenGL as a function. Possibly- that means I can be wrong- rebuilding with OpenGL disabled may help.
