Re: [pygame] BUG: seg fault when loading image from file object

["Brian Fisher" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug (segfault when loading png from open file with pygame 1.7.1
on python 2.5 or python 2.4) is indeed caused by the SDL dll's (and
smpeg.dll) included in the 1.7.1 release being linked against the
visual studio 6.0 MSVCRT instead of the Visual Studio 7.1 MSCRT71.dll,
like Rene said.

So I rebuilt the SDL libraries with the 2003 toolkit compiler. The SDL
sources I used were exact same versions as the ones the 1.7.1 package
includes, and the SDL libs were linked to their dependencies
statically same as in the 1.7.1 release (better for py2exe). So the
rebuilt dll's should be functionally identical to the ones in the
pygame 1.7.1 installers on pygame.org, except that the load from file
object functions now work.

I copied them into my site-packages directory and am using them that
way - if anybody else wants to use them, they are here:

... I'd try to build a pygame 1.7.x installer for python 2.5 with
these fixed sdl dlls, but I don't know how to get 1.7.1 sources or how
to modify an installer package
