[odb-users] odb compiler crashes when using --options-file in Mac Os X 10.9.5

[Alexandre Pretyman]

Hi Boris,

As suggested, I ran the compiler under lldb and printed the backtrace after
the SIGABORT, and you seem to be right as to it is a problem in the
exception handling:

Process 794 stopped

However I don't know how to interpret these messages, would you be kind
enough to drop a few words on why this would happen?

Putting the spaces in between the options and option value seemed to have
solved the problem compiling odb, thanks for the tip. It was not clear from
the odb manual that they had to be separated, or maybe I'm just stupid....

Thank you!
