Description Antoine Jacoutot 2012-04-05 15:16:53 UTC 
Hi.

Trying to compile babl-0.1.10 on OpenBSD with --enable-introspection, g-ir-compiler segfaults:

g-ir-scanner: Babl: warning: 1 warnings suppressed (use --warn-all to see them)
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}. /usr/local/bin/g-ir-compiler \
        --includedir=. \
        --includedir=../babl \
         \
        Babl-0.1.gir -o Babl-0.1.typelib
**
ERROR:girepository/girnode.c:1031:find_entry_node: assertion failed: (strlen (name) > 0)

Re-opening bug, though the bug should probably be against g-object-introspection and not babl/GEGL.
Comment 3 Sebastian Pipping 2012-04-11 16:57:04 UTC 
Same problem here, affects babl 0.1.8 and babl 0.1.10 and therefore Gimp 2.8-RC1 (but not babl-0.1.6 as that one still shipped a .gir file with its tarball).

The g-ir-compiler of neither gobject-introspection 1.30.0 nor 1.32.0 can handle the .gir file generated by its own g-ir-scanner.

The babl developers must have some way of still compiling babl-0.1.10.  Can you share a .gir file for babl 0.1.10, that doesn't crash g-ir-compiler?
Comment 4 Sebastian Pipping 2012-04-11 16:59:27 UTC 
PS: While the error is the same here, i.e.

ERROR:girepository/girnode.c:1031:find_entry_node: assertion failed: (strlen (name) > 0)

there is not report of a segfault over here.  I'm on Linux amd64.

The way this was dealt with for the release of babl-0.1.0 was to disable gobject introspection, this also had the side effect introspection being disabled in the build of GEGL-0.2.0.

Thanks for these details.
Comment 7 Mike Auty 2012-07-29 12:04:59 UTC 
Has there been any movement on this?  Can it be reassigned easily?

Also, this affects more than just OpenBSD.
Comment 8 Jon Nordby 2012-07-30 12:58:59 UTC 
This should be fixed now by bug #675985. Marking as duplicate. See also the gegl/babl bug #673422
