Arch Linux x86_64: Segfault on startup

[V0rt3x667]

I tested the Windows version from the Releases page and ran it under WINE. I can see the same error message in the terminal, however CDogs-SDL runs fine. For some reason the Linux version segfaults.

this error occurs if the player templates file is missing - it should be normal since new players won't have this file. It should not segfault though. Will need more info about where exactly this segfault is happening.

I am also experiencing a segfault when starting up the game on Arch Linux. When running the game from a terminal, I get the following output:

Is there anything specific you'd want me to do to get you the information you need?

Hi @MikauSchekzen your problem sounds like a different one - can you please open a separate issue
also, it would be helpful to have the following:

• check if the error also exists in latest master
• create a core dump and find the exact line of code that triggers this error

I have attached a trace log. I hope that helps.

Same issue as #852

[V0rt3x667]

Building sdl2_mixer with default options & linking statically to CDogs fixes the issue. As per #852 the issue is with the sdl2_mixer shipped by Arch Linux since version 2.6.3-2.
