Hi All,

There is a new public beta release:

2024-04-19 - 2.3.2.2-Beta

* Toss function split up in sub functions
* Fixed lot's of clang tidy warnings, mostly regarding types.
* Fixed issue regarding altgr keys on Spanish, and maybe other countries keyboards.

For the linux version, instead of using above statically linked executables,
I recommend, if you have the setup/tools for it,
to download the sources with git, and compile it yourself.

These are the steps/commands:

# git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/fmail/code FMail
# cd FMail
# git checkout --track origin/json_toss_log
# mkdir cmake-build
# cd cmake-build
# cmake ..
# make


Bye, Wilfred.

Oops... Forgot the -r option to zip and didn't check the result. Should be ok now. I created a script to automate the creating and publishing of the zip files, so this won't happen again. ;-)

Happens also with your precompiled 64bit binary, but your 32bit binary
works.

I cannot reproduce this. I tried several configurations. Maybe it has to do with yours?

But first can you try to build fmail in debug modus, and test again? Maybe this helps a bit to narrow it down.

Building in debug mode you do as follows: In above steps you replace 'cmake ..' with 'cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..' ...

These are the same as what is on the terminal, so unfortunately that doesn't help.

MSG*.FML These files are created in the message base
directory when FMail is running in message base
sharing mode. Normally FMail will append these
files to the normal message base files, but it can
happen that this is not possible. FMail will retry
to append them to the normal message base files the
next time it is started.

So the msgbase in this means hudson base? In my system /bbs/fmail/netmail is msg opus netmail directory.

I've got another thing to try: 'valgrind'

If yours is setup as a development system, you might already have it, otherwise it should be easy to install it from your distributions package manager.

Then start fmail (the debug version!) "under" valgrind:

# valgrind [path/]fmail toss [&>output.txt]

Hopefully that wil give us the specific clues to narrow it down to the line of code that causes the error in your setup.

Btw: If the output is large, maybe use netmail! ;-)

Yes.

In my system /bbs/fmail/netmail is msg opus netmail directory.

Netmail and the hudson message base can be in the same directory (I think). They don't have overlapping file names.
There are some more references to FML in FMail.txt, if you want to know more...
