Repeatable Segfault when running Eagle CAM generation from command line

Running eagle with just -X also segfaults

   eagle -X

This command works when running Eagle 5:

   eagle -X -dGERBER_RS274X -oexport.out  board.brd Top Bottom

   EAGLE Version 5.12.0 Copyright (c) 1988-2011 CadSoft                    

   CAM Processor: Gerber RS-274-X photoplotter, coordinate format 2.4 inch 

   finished.

On the same system Eagle 7 still segfaults.  The system is running Ubuntu Linux 12.04.5 LTS

Hi Derek,

I'm reporting the issues to our developers. I'll let you know what they say.

BR,

Good news!

This has already been corrected in the newest EAGLE beta V7.1.1.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Here's another data point.  I'm having a similar problem with CAM command lines on Windows 8.1 using Eagle 7.1.0, but not using Eagle 6.5.0.

I'm seeing the problem using "-X d?".

Trying:

"C:\EAGLE-7.1.0\bin\eaglecon.exe" -X -d?

returns error code -1073741819, which in hex is FFFFFFFFC0000005, when run from a Python script.

If instead, run directly from a windows command prompt, Microsoft produces a popup that takes a minute to check for a fix, before prompting to close the program.

Falling back to Eagle 6.5.0, it works OK with this command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EAGLE-6.5.0\bin\eaglecon.exe" -X -d?

Jorge,

Where can I find EAGLE beta V7.1.1 for Windows?  The download addendum on the cadsoftusa website is giving me a 404 error.

Thanks!

EDIT:  I've found it here: CadSoft EAGLE PCB Design - Betatest Version for Users

Jorge,

The Beta 7.1.1 fix worked OK for me.  The command I tried was:

"C:\EAGLE-7.1.1\bin\eaglecon.exe" -X -d?

Thanks,

Henry

This fix applies to 7.1.1 moving forward, so you have to test the

command using 7.1.1. You can download 7.1.1 from our website

www.cadsoftusa.com>Downloads>Betatest.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

I solved the problem calling eaglecon.exe ina first moment with the parameter -X-,  and then with the parameter -X+.

Now my eaglecon callings generate correctly the gerbers file without open any brd visualization.

By

Running eagle with -X- -X+ fixes issue in 7.1.0, but seems to suppress text output while running (which isn't that much of a problem).

Using eagle 7.1.1 BETA also fixes the issue.
