Hi, I just successfully built inkscape svn on Windows XP using Mingw and GTK from Modevia and have found a problem with the file save as dialog.
Every time I try to save a file I created in Inkscape, it errors out with "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now." It also affects the save a copy dialog. The only workaround I found is to save a blank file when I start Inkscape, and use the save button after some work has been done to avoid the file save as dialog.
GDB backtrace says: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x77c478c0 in strlen () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll ..... #1053 0x00b0e6d8 in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #1054 0x00b12b08 in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #1055 0x00b129f8 in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #1056 0x00f414f0 in sigc::internal::signal_impl::sweep () at c:/mingw4/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.1.1/../../../../include/c++/4. 1.1/bits/stl_list.h:141 Cannot access memory at address 0xabababab
This error also happens on recent inkscape.modevia.com win32 builds. The stable 0.45.1 is unaffected.
Unfortunately I have no experience in GDB. What can I do to help?
