segfault

[gnat42]

Hello,

So I packaged and installed both libsmartpen and smartpen-browser but when I try to connect smartpen-browser segfaults. I'm not exactly sure the process to get something useful for debugging purposes. Any ideas?

actually... here's the stack trace. ( not going very far I as I doubt you need to see more than these few lines)

It's very likely that Fedora is using a version of libopenobex with
bugs that impact libsmartpen. In fact, I'm not sure that a release of
libopenobex has been made with my fixes in it, despite them having
been in their git tree for over a year. I'll put my openobex fixes up
on github so you can try them and see if it fixes your segfault.
