[chuck-users] Newbie troubleshooting Mac/Windows

Wed Mar 24 14:58:24 EDT 2021

Tim - I'm not sure I see any issues with this dump.  Chuck's -v reporting
is a bit misleading, it uses words like SEVERE to indicate higher priority
debugging messages. These don't indicate that you have severe problems.
Other than not hearing sound.

As for your Ctrl+C issue, on windows I feel that the interrupt-based
cleanup has some known stability issues.  When terminating this way I see
segmentation violations or other crashy messages around 50% of the time.

If you can run a test file like "examples/basic/demo0.ck", it might be
worth testing whether it runs to completion. This example just prints out
some messages and exits after 5 seconds.  If that test runs smoothly we're
back, I think, to the question of why do you hear no sound rather than
wondering whether chuck is seriously botched.
