Code: [Select]
ver += wxString::Format(wxT(" v%d.%d.%d"), wxMAJOR_VERSION, wxMINOR_VERSION, wxRELEASE_NUMBER );
Version is set at compile time. Don't know if you can also determine the runtime dll version.
I don't have a good feeling if the runtime lib doesn't match the version of the headers the program was compiled with btw. Linking the Unix builds statically might solve a lot of the crash problems plagueing us.

I didn't think it would solve this crash, but probably the one with Ubuntu/Crypto++.

I'm actually thinking about providing a static build for Linux. Not to replace distro packages (unless they are buggy), but to help people with distros which don't provide a current aMule version.

Static linking is not needed unless the dynamic linked libraries broke the ABI/API in the new version, in which case their numbering scheme should be changed and the application wouldn't find the original one and won't launch.

So no, we won't static link things by default. Wuischke is still allowed to provide a static build, of course.After all, xmule did when they were still active, so what could possibly go wrong? :P

FYI, I also got this bug and I posted a new backtrace (see backtraces subforum for my backtrace with some debug info)

However I cannot reproduce it reliably.

By the way, I think blaming Ubuntu for this bug is wrong, people using Fedora 10 also got it. I inspected the wx patches they ship and they couldn't cause this bug. I'm not so sure about the GTK+ patches they ship, I'm investigating this point.

It could be a GTK+, WX or aMule bug, but I'm almost 100% sure this bug is not Ubuntu specific.
