printf segmentation faults on linux

[sparky4]

i have this code for othello
and the line printf(" %d |", j+1); crashes the program
j is an int inside a for loop

compiled with latest release on 64 bit and 32 bit linux
both times crashes

the linux version of the program crashes while the dos version works perfectly

Thanks for your report.
Please, what compiler options you use?

[sparky4]

default ones

[jmalak]

Thanks

found another issue...
cannot compile johncampbell123's doslib
1.9 can and older versions of 2.0 can

[jmalak]

Could you give here more details.

[sparky4]

joncampbell123/doslib#58
i posted some details here

[jmalak]

Thanks

Build problem is due to mistake in doslib make files. I created pull request with fix.

[jmalak]

I cannot reproduce your issue.
What command line you use to compile?
I used latest version of OW build (64-bit version) and when run compiled program I got 4 matrices without any problem.

[sparky4]

let me give you the files

https://4ch.mooo.com/4/C_code_1.zip i just did wcl386 on linux and completed a game and it seg faults
i ran wcl386 Othello.c *.c

[sparky4]

using November 24th version

I tried your last sample and I run game, no any core dump etc.
Please check following Environment variables setup:
WATCOM= it should be root of OW, my setup is /home/jiri/watcom
INCLUDE= it should be OW Linux header path, my setup is /home/jiri/watcom/lh
PATH= it should be OW Linux binaries path, my setup is /home/jiri/watcom/binl64

Mainly INCLUDE directory is important to point to target related subdirectory (lh for Linux)
I am using Ubuntu 22.04 box.
I checked both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of OW with same result.

[jmalak]

I enclosed compiled game (Linux version).
Othello.zip

[sparky4]

lets see

[sparky4]

!! it works... okay let me update the thing

[sparky4]

hmmm it works now thanks!
INCLUDE only had $watcom/h not $watcom/lh

[sparky4]

got the old code of the othello program?

[jmalak]

Yes, I tested both your samples old and new with same results.
Be careful about INCLUDE environment variable, it must be setup for appropriate target.
Mostly it compiles without problem, but on runtime problems appears.
By example on Linux different structure alignment then on DOS or other platforms (it is defined in header files).
If you compile for multiple platform frequently you can use another trick with OW.
Don't setup INCLUDE environment variable and setup target specific environment variable.
By example for DOS, Windows and Linux you can setup

DOS_INCLUDE=.../h
LINUX_INCLUDE=.../lh
NT_INCLUDE=.../h;.../h/nt

And compiler select appropriate <os>_INCLUDE variable by -bt=<os> compiler option.
Of course this works for the default target (implicit host, if not specified -bt option) as well.
look into section about -bt option in OW documentation
