Usdx: [Bug] 2017.08.0-Stable crashes on (non development) Mac

[bohning]

The Mac version of the latest 2017.08 release seems to be missing libx264, referenced from libavcodec:

[basisbit]

this is also what I heard half a year ago from some other people. they said that some library that xcode installs with it is missing. No idea about any details. Most likely only since Sierra or the version before that.

[bohning]

Strange this is... the file is there:

@ePirat, @AlexanderS, @kamischi any ideas what could be the cause?

[s09bQ5]

Is this really the v2017.8.0 release?
The release DMG contains libavcodec.57.dylib, not libavcodec.56.dylib.

[bohning]

@s09bQ5 Okay, my bad. The two screenshots were refer to two different builds (first refers to DMG from Travis, tested on a non-development Mac, downloaded from transfer.sh via Travis), the second screenshot was from my own DMG I created on my (development) Mac (with latest ffmpeg 3.3.3 installed). Sorry for the confusion.

However, neither version worked on the development Mac. I will further investigate and report back. Thanks in advance! =)

[bohning]

Okay, I just checked. The DMG from Travis contains libavcodec.56.dylib, but is missing libx264.148.dylib. When trying to run this version (on the non-development Mac), I get the above error that libx264.148.dylib is missing.

My own DMG built based on the 2017.08 master (and ffmpeg 3.3.3) contains both libavcodec.57.dylib and libx264.148.dylib. When trying to run this version (on the non-development Mac), I get
An unhandled exception occurred at $00000001000AEC1B: EAccessViolation: Access violation $00000001000AEC1B $0000000100065A0D

[s09bQ5]

Now I get it, you built the DMG that is linked for 2017.8.0, not Travis.
Do you have any way to resolve these addresses to symbols and disassembly snippets (or line numbers)?

[bohning]

@s09bQ5 I am afraid not or I don't understand your question. It does NOT run on a non-development Mac, therefore I don't have any more info than what I provided from that machine (unless you tell me how...). Wish I could be of more help to resolve the issue...

[ePirat]

Looks like something is not ok with how stuff is referenced, therefore the dynamic library loader does not find things. Unfortunately I do not have time to look into this right now, maybe in a few weeks.

@basisbit

some library that xcode installs with it is missing. No idea about any details. Most likely only since Sierra or the version before that.

Unlikely, at least the reported error looks completely unrelated to Xcode libraries or specific macOS versions.

[bohning]

@ePirat @s09bQ5 Let me know if I can be of any help. I have two Macs at my hands, one set up with development environment (fpc 3.0.2, ffmpeg 3.3.3), the other one a non-development Mac, both Sierra 10.12.6.

[ePirat]

@bohning Could you try with this build please? https://nightlies.1750studios.com/usdx/UltraStarDeluxe_20170531.zip

[bohning]

@ePirat This nightly runs on the non-development Mac (obviously on the development Mac as well), only the graphics are missing:

[ePirat]

Thanks. Missing graphics is a known bug: #255

[ePirat]

Given that beta works fine (except the other know bugs), I will close this.
