PR# 19611 19.12 GPL version does not launch on Manjaro linux

Hello!

I've installed 19.12 GPL version, but after invoking 'estudio', for a brief moment of time I see the splash/logo, but then the application does exit.

$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0                                                    
2.24.32

I've libxtst-1.2.3 installed.

Anything else I can try?

The issue was the missing  ` -x ` .. which is the correct "translation" of "export ISE_EIFFEL=.."  in fish shell.

i.e

set -x ISE_EIFFEL /home/eiffel/opt/Eiffel_19.05
set -x ISE_PLATFORM linux-x86-64
set -g -x PATH $PATH $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin

In additon, I would suggest to add the following paths to the PATH
   $ISE_EIFFEL/tools/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin
   $ISE_EIFFEL/library/gobo/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin

Regards

Hello,

I've tried your steps...and it works.

However, I noticed what is the problem, but can't explain why...

The difference is that I use fish-shell, so can you try 

1.  to install fish shell:
sudo pacman -S fish

2. change default shell to fish

$ chsh (set to /usr/bin/fish)

3. define following variables in ~/.config/fish/config.fish
set ISE_EIFFEL /home/eiffel/opt/Eiffel_19.05
set ISE_PLATFORM linux-x86-64
set -g -x PATH $PATH $ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin

4. try to execute
$ estudio

Here it fails, while when running under bash it does work, so I'm really curious what kind of bash-ism is there in EiffelStudio?

I was able to install EiffelStudio 19.05 GPL on Manjaro 18.1.5 GNOME edition without any issues.

After the Linux Manjaro install, I did the following steps.

1. Update the system
sudo pacman -Syu

2.Install gcc and make
sudo pacman -S gcc make

3. Download Eiffel_19.05_gpl_103187-linux-x86-64.tar.bz2

4. Uncompress EiffelStudio  
tar -xvf Downloads/Eiffel_19.05_gpl_103187-linux-x86-64.tar.bz2 

5 Update .bashrc with the following environment variables (using the path where I've extracted `/home/eiffel/Eiffel_19.05`)

gedit ~/.bashrc

export ISE_EIFFEL=/home/eiffel/Eiffel_19.05
export ISE_PLATFORM=linux-x86-64
export PATH=$PATH:$ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin

6. Refresh the environment
. ~/.bashrc

7. Launch EiffelStudio
estudio

Please let me know if this helps.

> Which version of Manjaro are you using XFCE, KDE Plasma or GNOME?

GNOME and stable-branch of Manjaro.

Which version of Manjaro are you using XFCE, KDE Plasma or GNOME?

We are trying to reproduce this issue by installing Manjaro Linux.

I've download newer beta and after running 'ec -gui' I get the following (see the screenshot).

Sincerely,
Saša

Probably of not much value, but I'm including gdb.log...

$ ec -gui does produce a crash and I'm including es.log in the attachment.

Same/similar thing with 19.05 - see es-05.log.


Sincerely,
Saša

Do you have the same issue with previous version(s) of EiffelStudio , 19.05 for instance?
Can you also try to launch EiffelStudio using " ec -gui " ? ("estudio" on Linux does more or less the same)

By any luck, did you try on a fresh installation of Manjaro linux ?
