SDL version can run fine. but Qt version crashes as soon as the iso is loaded. As I used SDL version earlier, hence don't know whether Qt version ever worked with Ghost of Sparta.

chains of olympus is running fine in Qt.

I don't have this game. Would you be able to test an earlier version?

Ok, fedora 19 i686 version "v0.9.5-850-g0bdf17b" is not crashing, I'll check with x86_64 version and report.

If it's only happening on 64-bit, it's likely the same issue as #4241 / #3411
64-bit + -O3 on amctrl.c

OK, found the issue! it is related to Qt build folder

I keep build and src folder separate, so I compile Qt in a separate build/Qt folder, hence, it causes crashes in many games like assasin's creed, ghost of sparta.

Now, I compiled Qt in the source folder itself (which I don't like); now Ghost of Sparta is not crashing nor is assissin's creed bloodlines.

thanks.

But what is the actual issue? What file is in source dir that it looks for?
Oh new issue

That's strange, if we build PPSSPPSDL and Qt in a different folder, say

#SDL

cd ~/ppsspp/build; cmake .. ; make ;#ppsspp

# Qt

mkdir -p ~/ppsspp/build/Qt; cd Qt; qmake-qt5 .~/ppspp/build/Qt/PPSSPPQt.pro; make

If we launch GOW Ghost of Sparta with PPSSPPQt compiled from the above ~/ppsppp/build/Qt/PPSSPPQt, it crashes

but this is working: Gow Ghost of Sparta is not crashing when we compile SDL and Qt in their respective Source folders.

# SDL

cd ~/ppsspp; cmake .; make

# Qt

cd ~/ppsspp/Qt; qmake-qt5 .~/ppspp/build/Qt/PPSSPPQt.pro; make

this works! and Gow does not crash.

Could you please try to compile SDL and Qt on a different build folder, and test GOW ghost of sparta (which you don't have) or someone on Linux who can check them for you. that may squash one more bug!

Compiling PPSSPP under Qt5 platform?...I thought that compiling under this version could have some trouble, but let me check...

In Ubuntu, there's no "qmake-qt5" app, but the package "qt5-qmake" exist, so no problem when using qmake only which sets the current Qt version.

qt5 is available in fedora 18, 19 and 20, I'm using qt5 because of "sound" issues with qt4 version.

I think PPSSPP can be compiled under Qt5 platform and tested. Runs very well without problems. Maybe it's time to update the Qt section in the wiki.

Oh I see...I had been trying to compile it under Qt5, but failed because of missing Qt multimedia libraries.

arrgh....qmake app in ubuntu only uses the old Qt4 version...Need to use QtCreator to do that.

While Fedora and other distros didn't have any problems compiling PPSSPP under Qt5, for Ubuntu platform, it is very headache...

Oh..now the Qt5 compiling issues on Ubuntu is fixed by installing qtmultimedia5-dev package in it.
