macOS compiling exiftran C code on macpro

[den is]

Hi

I have compiled the C source code for exiftran (installing all the missing libraries as I came across them). Then I tried to run it and get this:

denis$ exiftran -ai RemDay\ DSC_7477r.JPG
processing RemDay DSC_7477r.JPG
Bus error

I tried to run it with gdb and got this:

(gdb) run -ai RemDay\ DSC_7477r.JPG
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/exiftran -ai RemDay\ DSC_7477r.JPG
Reading symbols for shared libraries ++++. done
processing RemDay DSC_7477r.JPG

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000080
0x000045ae in ?? ()
(gdb) bt

#8 0x000023e6 in ?? ()

Can anyone suggest where to go from here?

Perhaps start by recompiling the jpeg library and exiftran with the cflags -g -O0. This should at least get you a better backtrace.

If I compile with -O0 I only get this with the bt:

(gdb) run -ai RemDayDSC_7477r.JPG
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/exiftran -ai RemDayDSC_7477r.JPG

I tried compiling all the modules/libraries I installed for this (libexif, libjpeg and exiftran) with -g3 -O but it made no difference.

Reading deeper into the Install texts there is a jmemmac.c module for libjpeg. But when I changed the configure to use this and the corresponding header files (which I think I got right, but I am not very good with system build files) the compilation fell over in a heap. It seems to be a very old module which may not apply to the current versions of mac OSX.

I am beginning to think it may be easier to install ubuntu on the mac and use the exiftran that comes as standard with ubuntu.

I don't understand. I compiled/installed the dependencies via MacPorts. Then I compiled exiftran like this.

export CFLAGS="-g -O0"
make exiftrans

Then when I run it, it still didn't work, but I get a full-info backtrace. (You can probably ignore that I'd compiled a 64-bit executable).
