checkwps Segmentation fault and/or no errors listed

Yotto:
I'm having trouble getting checkwps to work. I am running it on themes I downloaded using rbutil, and with themes that came with Rockbox.

I compiled my own 3.7.1 build from svn, and the build runs. The themes display perfectly and there are no problems there. The problem is that checkwps for 3.7.1 (which I created by running ./buildall.sh from the tools/checkwps/ directory) is not giving the output that I expect.

First off, I am running Rockbox on an iPod Video. I compiled Rockbox using option 22, Normal build. When I ran buildall.sh it created a file checkwps.mpiohd200 which I assume is correct for the ipod video though I have no reason except faith in buildall.sh.

When I run (from the tools/checkwps/ folder):

--- Code: ---./checkwps.mpiohd200 /media/ROCKBOX/.rockbox/wps/cabbiev2.wps
--- End code ---
I get:

--- Code: ---Checking /media/ROCKBOX/.rockbox/wps/cabbiev2.wps...
WPS parsing failure
Segmentation fault
--- End code ---

I downloaded (again via svn) the most recent build and compiled it, and then checkwps. It again created me a checkwps.mpiohd200 file which, when run in the exact same way as above does NOT get a Segmentation fault, but still fails:

--- Code: ---Checking /media/ROCKBOX/.rockbox/wps/cabbiev2.wps...
WPS parsing failure
--- End code ---

As I said, the cabbiev2 theme loads fine and displays as expected.

I get the same errors when I run checkwps on my own theme, which does NOT display properly and I don't know why. I was hoping to use checkwps to quickly find the problem but obviously that is not working, so I'm about to start trying to load it piece by piece into a simulator.

[Saint]:
Perhaps you're not familiar with the target...but that is pretty obviously the checkwps for the MPIO HD200

You can build checkwps for your target just by running tools/configure as you would for building a binary for your player, but instead of selecting "Normal" (or letting it default to it) choose "Checkwps", then do "make" .

Well that was simple. I wish I'd seen the option when I compiled the first time. I'd likely have tried it.

Is there a purpose for the tools/checkwps directory then? This was so much simpler and quicker than that, and produced the correct file in an obvious way.

<EDIT>

Hmmm, scratch that. It found a couple errors but when I fixed those, I'm back to Segmentation Faults.

<EDIT>

I found what is causing the Segmentation Fault in the correct (thanks [St.]) checkwps program, it's the following bit of code:

--- Code: ---%pb(-,12,16,297,10)
--- End code ---

I know why it's wrong now that I see it. It should have been %pb(12,16,297,10).

Chronon:
It might still be worth a bug report.  It seems to me that the program should fail gracefully rather than segfault.

JdGordon:
i just tried that and it works as expected (with it trying load the filename '10' as the image :p ) are you sure it was that line?
