I finally got a moment to look at this - not that I really have much clue about the whole unix process thing - and it appears that something is odd with the compiled code in the plugin.
My test is very simple - run the UnixProcess class>listDirectory example. It exits with a segfault and the forkAndExec??? method as the last thing on the stack.
I build a debug vm (and had some fun with asserts and the ARM fp offset in the process, all fixed now) and??? it doesn???t fail. I???ve tried compiling the plugin with varying levels of optimisation, since we???ve fairly regularly seen problems there, and even at -O0 it fails. So debug -> OK, no-debug -> boom. Nice.
Ideas?
I just unpacked my new Raspberry Pi (thanks Ben and Tim for the shopping and setup advice). Very cool. My only usability complaint is that the TV monitor is in the next room, so I am getting a stiff neck trying to look at the monitor while I type on my chiclet keyboard here in the kitchen. But it works, and it is a real computer.
I recommend you either set up a VNC server on the Pi and VNC in or use X11. I never attach a monitor to the Pi except during setup.
Thanks Eliot, I'll do that. I was partly making fun of myself fumbling around trying to put the pieces together for the first time. Remember that classic old video (from DEC research labs I think?) showing a first time user trying to insert a floppy disk into a PC? That was me setting up my new Pi ;-)
:-). I can relate :-)
