[Engine-devel] ovirt-engine build segfault on Fedora 20

Caution on upgrading your dev machine to Fedora 20. GWT compilation of "safari" (for Chrome) causes a segfault during the build. Strangely, the build appears to work, so I'm not sure what the net effect of the segfault is. If you only compile for gecko (Firefox) [the default], you won't see the segfault. In other words, make clean install-dev PREFIX=$HOME/ovirt-engine DEV_EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS_GWT_DEFAULTS="-Dgwt.userAgent=gecko1_8,safari" causes the segfault But make install-dev PREFIX="$HOME/ovirt-engine" works just fine. I've duplicated this with with both OpenJDK and Oracle JDK. If you'd like to duplicate, simple install a fresh F20 VM, and then run these commands: 1 sudo yum install nano 2 sudo nano /etc/hostname #set the hostname 3 sudo nano /etc/hosts #set the hostname 5 sudo yum install http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm 6 sudo yum install git java-devel maven openssl postgresql-server m2crypto python-psycopg2 python-cheetah python-daemon libxml2-python jboss-as unzip otopi 7 mkdir projects 8 cd projects/ 9 git clone git://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine 10 cd ovirt-engine/ 11 make install-dev PREFIX="$HOME/ovirt-engine" Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc.
