Hi,
I have got a strange situation, when my LCL GUI program runs on one PC, where it was compiled, but fails with segmentation fault on others with similar OS.
Edit:
It is not really SOLVED, but I have discovered that if the program was properly installed it would work all right without any issues.
So I made a .deb package, installed it and got the program working.What I tried before was running it under local user account from ~/bin folder. Why these attempts failed on all, but my development computer, I still have no idea.
end of Edit

On the above configuration the program runs all right.

this is info for one core of four (Intel Celeron 4 core ULW)
This was the only system which gave me something sensible:
$ ./watermarker
-bash: ./watermarker: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
The other two just said "segmentation fault". Another system is:
$ uname -a
Linux <user> 4.4.0-91-generic #114-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 8 11:56:56 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Linux Mint 18.1, Mate desktop
CPU model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz
The program does not do anything fancy, It provides GUI for user to enter some parameters and fill them into command templates to run ImageMagick commands; they generate watermark images and apply them to user's pictures.
program watermarker;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses
{$IFDEF UNIX}{$IFDEF UseCThreads}
cthreads,
{$ENDIF}{$ENDIF}
Interfaces, // this includes the LCL widgetset
Forms, uMain, XMLFile, uparamlist;
{$R *.res}
begin
RequireDerivedFormResource := True;
Application.Initialize;
Application.CreateForm(TfrmMain, frmMain);
Application.Run;
end.
frmMain writes a lot of debug info into StdOut at OnCreate event, but it crashes well before it - I see none of them, when I run it in terminal.
Any ideas or suggestions where to look?
Surprisingly the previous version of this program ran OK on all systems.
Thank you.
