Hi Col. Builder,
Welcome to the forum

I had to tweak the uppsrc/Makefile to account for many of my headers and libraries being under /usr/local/include, /usr/local/lib.

I guess I can add those folders to the Makefile defaults to be more OpenBSD friendly...
As for the invalid memory access, it is hard to tell... Could you try to run it in debugger and post a backtrace when the error happens? (You might need to recompile theide with -g in CFLAGS and tweak the ar invocation in AR variable to get executable with debugging symbols...).
Also you could try to compile some simpler apps from examples/tutorial/reference directory, to see how deep the problem lays. E.g. wc (this one uses Core only) and Days (just basic GUI), both are in examples directory.
Meanwhile, I'll try to install OpenBSD in virtual machine to see if I can reproduce the problem...
Best regards,
Honza

I'm not overly familiar with gdb/command-line-debugging, my experience comes from a long history ('89 to present) of IDE usage, mostly on Macs (Borland/Turbo C++, CodeWarrior, and a little bit of XCode). I might need a little bit to get up to speed on gdb. Hopefully I can get U++'s IDE up and running quickly on my system and I won't need to spend huge amounts of time on mastering the command-line before I can start doing some useful stuff.
Anyway, I'll try to get a backtrace of the error. If I need to change the AR options, then I'll have to read up on that. So it might be a day or two before I can get back with one.
I'll also try building those other example projects you mentioned to see what gives.
(edited code section above to include changes to LIBPATH)

Oh, I see, you are using the "release makefile" for theide (there is also one called "universal makefile", which compiles any package). The changes you did seem to be correct. I think you are just missing one more flag, BSD. The Macro variable should be something like Macro = -DflagGUI -DflagGCC -DflagSHARED -DflagBSD -DflagOPENBSD -DflagPOSIX
Hopefully this will result into correctly compiled theide, so you will not need to use the debugger

OK, I'm doing a clean rebuild using the extra flag, we'll see of it fixes things (fingers crossed).
Where can I find the "universal makefile"? Would I need to grab sources out of version control instead of a tarball to get ahold of it? I just downloaded a source tarball of the stable U++ and that's what I'm currently working with.
And it's not debuggers per-se that I'm trying to avoid, it's just command-line stuff that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Hm, so it didn't help... Judging by the error message, it is something X related, but the message itself doesn't help much

The makefile is hidden in the SVN But don't worry, it can be easily retrieved from the google mirror: http://code.google.com/p/upp-mirror/source/browse/trunk/uppb ox/lpbuild/Makefile. As it's author, I must admit it is rather buggy lately... Also, I never tested it on OpenBSD (only on FreeBSD and Linux). If you decide to use it, note that it requires to be used with gmake. You can place it just about anywhere and then call (from within the same directory) like this:gmake PKG=ide FLAGS="GCC GUI SHARED OPENBSD" NESTS="/path/to/upp/uppsrc"

I guess OpenBSD sed behaves a little different than ferrBSD one...
I downloaded OpenBSD 4.8 to install it in VirtualBox, but for some reason it won't boot no matter what I do :-/ I'll try few more times over the weekend... but since than, I don't have nothing much to advice you

At least writing those per project/archive makefiles hasn't been a waste of time: I've been getting more familiar with the project layout/organization as a by-product.

Do I understand correctly that you are using U++ without theide, just writing the makefiles by hand? If yes, you have my deep respect, I don't think anyone ever attempted to do that
Now the bad news... I suspect the GCC to be actually the cause of the problems. On OpenBSD the gcc 4.2.1 is used by default, which is known to cause trouble with U++. So far I wasn't able to succesfully install any other compiler (tried gcc 3.3.6, but it reports missing cc1plus). LLVM/Clang is next option, but first I have to figure out how to build the version 2.8 from ports (because IIRC 2.9 doesn't work very well with U++)...
If you have a better understanding of OpenBSD internals than me (and I'm sure you do, I'm learning everything on the way ) you can try to use some other compiler yourself.

Good news again! I have a running theide
I'm just not sure yet what did the trick - I disabled a lot of things. So now I will start to enable them again one by one, checking what works and what not. This will take a while, the compilation in virtual machine takes quite some time. So for now, I will attach the makefile as is and update it later (probably tomorrow) in more optimal shape.

So, here is the final Makefile
Actually all that was needed to be done was to use -O2 instead of -O3 optimizations...
Be aware, that theide compiled on OpenBSD suffers from the same bug as MacOS X version which causes the menus to be painted under the windows. To fix that change line 206 in uppsrc/CtrlCore/CtrlKbd.cpp from topwindow->SetWndForeground(); // cxl 2007-4-27 if(activate) topctrl->SetWndForeground(); // cxl 2007-4-27
I also noticed (and had to correct) some compile errors in ndisasm plugin, but since you already compiled theide without noticing that, you probably don't need to fix that...
Hopefully, now you can finally enjoy a working theide

Now I just need to get used to the ide's organization (I'm a hardcore CodeWarrior guy, so TheIDE feels fairly alien at the moment), and also get llvm/clang working as the compiler (I know... probably very non-trivial)!

It's not easy to get used to different IDE, but when you do, you will probably be quite happy with theide
Setting up clang is piece of cake, at least version 2.8 (the newer 2.9 does not currently work with U++ ). You just make a copy of the GCC build method and change compiler name to "clang++" and it should work In worst case some include paths might be necessary to add, but that is still easy.
Honza
PS: More precisely: clang 2.9 doesn't work with libc4.6 headers, maybe it would work with libc4.5, but I haven't tried... Also the situation on OpenBSD might be different from my experience on Linux...
