gource - issue #148

Gource 0.37 crashes when video output stream and no repository specified


Posted on Feb 10, 2012 by Happy Panda

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.Download 0.37 and copy it to c:\gource 2.Open CMD. Change to the gource directory. 3.type "gource -1280x720 -o gource.ppm"

What is the expected output? I expected to see something other than a crash box.

What do you see instead? I see a SLD_App appear briefly then crash. Then the gource console goes down. (no output in the console) No log file is generated in the folder where gource lives (c:\gource)

What version of the product are you using? 0.37

On what operating system? Windows XP 64 nVidia M50SV 3GBRam Duo t9300 2.5Ghz.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi.

Thanks. I was able to duplicate this.

It's not clear from my example (I'll change it) but you either need to have gource.exe in path and be in a code repository directory, or specify one.

Cheers

I figured it was operator error. So how do I specify a code repository directory? And where/how do I get a code repository directory?

The last argument on the command line is the directory of the code repository to use ie:

gource [options] repository

How do you get a repository? Well you could install Git (windows client: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) you can use 'git clone REPOSITORY_URL DESTINATION_DIRECTORY' to download any open source projects on http://github.com/.
