I compile under Xubuntu 14.04.5 64bit.
By Simutrans-Standard the binary works under Xubuntu 14.04.5, Ubuntu 16.04.3 and Mageia 6.
At Simutrans-Extended the binary works under Xubuntu 14.04.5 and Ubuntu 16.04.3.
With Mageia 6, a memory access error occurs during startup.
Do you have a possible explanation for that?
Thank you for the report.
I will not be able to understand the problem without more details of the error: can you give me the exact error message?
sorry german system

Can I ask you to run Simutrans-Extended with gdb and produce a backtrace for this?
No idea if it helps. I do not get along with gdb.

Installing gdb is simple: the package name will just be "gdb", and it should be in all the normal Linux repositories.
To run it, type gdb ./simutrans-extended_mixer_sdl2, and then, at the prompt, type "run". When you get the error, type "backtrace", then copy and paste in a reply to this post the output from that latter command.

I am not sure what is occurring here. Is this an error that you get when you try to run the command "gdb ./simutrans-extended_mixer_sdl2"?
It is the same file only renamed in the repo. Installed on a laptop.
You can run deb-based Linux.
rpm based linux can not run them.

That is very odd. Have you tried typing "run" at the GDB prompt in any event?
gdb says under Mageia 6 that it is not a program file.
Under Xubuntu and Ubuntu, the same file works as a program.

I suspect the Makefile has something in it what sets the program file on the platform. Because compiled under Mageia works the program file.

That is exceedingly odd. I am not sure that I understand how that can be. Have you tried compiling locally on the RPM based machine?
Can I check whether you were able to fix this issue?

What was the result when you tried to run an executable that you had compiled on the same system?

This is very odd - does the executable compiled under Mageia work on a Debian based platform?
#93fabe7 compile under Xubuntu and works under Mageia
So the new versions work without trouble now - or have I misunderstood?
#93fabe7 add to repo rpm/deb
Yes, this version works.

Thank you for confirming: that is helpful. I am not sure why there would be a long wait (how long is it, may I ask?), especially when I am not in a position to reproduce this.
However, the .wav errors are not anything about which to be concerned: they simply result from the pakset not having any background sound for certain climates defined. For some reason, the error messages that you seem to get with that platform are not as informative as the error messages that I normally see on Ubuntu Linux or Windows.
