The SDL forums have moved to discourse.libsdl.org.
This is just a read-only archive of the previous forums, to keep old links working.

hello list,

i`m trying to run ffmpeg (no changes from source code)
it build ok, but it gives this back when trying ti run:

Fatal signal: Bus Error (SDL Parachute Deployed)

i have the latest install of libsdl.

ffmpeg lists were not very helpful on this, i hope i can get
any advice from you,

with best wishes,
wojciech

This isn't necessarily an SDL bug...this error just means the
application crashed, and SDL ran it's application-wide crash handler to
clean itself up. This is useful on some platforms (like X11 on Linux)
where the display could be stuck at the wrong resolution or scrambled or
whatnot if the program crashed without SDL cleaning up.

However, the crash itself could be anywhere, including code that is
totally unrelated to SDL. We would need more information, but this is
likely an ffmpeg bug, not an SDL one.
