Hello Adam, Garth, and Bernhard,

first, the build of last night (r5447) still crashes on my system with the same report pointing towards libpixman.

My system is an older Mac Book Pro (middle 2010) with the following base specs:

Modellname:               MacBook Pro
Modell-Identifizierung:   MacBookPro7,1
Prozessortyp:             Intel Core 2 Duo
Prozessorgeschwindigkeit: 2,4 GHz
Anzahl der Prozessoren:   1
Gesamtanzahl der Kerne:   2
L2-Cache:	          3 MB

With libpixman obviously being the source of trouble, I looked for differences between my own working build system and Adam's nightlies: On my machine, pixman comes as a dependency for cairo, which I also installed via Homebrew, but built with the option --without-x11. pixman itself was installed "bottled", e.g. as a precompiled binary.

Seeing that I am obviously the only one having troubles like this with the nightlies, I will build the current Kicad source tree myself again this afternoon, and see if pcbnew will then crash again or not.


Best,
Johannes
