Hello list,
I'm afraid I am having a lot of trouble with my attempts to get yasr
running with any degree of stability.
I can start the screen-reader and it runs quite nicely but crashes very
easily, usually after only a few minutes.
I am unable to tell whether it is crashing the whole OS or just my
ability to log-in. It makes the Raspi impossible to connect to with SSH
until a reboot.
I have run it both from an installed package and have successfully
compiled it from source after kludging some errors in compile caused by
changes to the Gnu run-time since it was written.
But I'm not giving up. I will continue to pour over the source-code in
an attempt to get it running.
I would like to run it because in the short times it has run it has
proved to be quite a flexible screen-reader and is very small.
One problem is that with it being so unstable I cannot run the Gnu
debugger (gdb) to try to find where and why it is failing. I will have
to sprinkle debug messages throughout the code. This of course
introduces new code and slows things down, not to mention the risk of
introducing new bugs.
Mike
