invalid short option '\xbe'

[sdumetz]

I have an error message each time topcube start :

(process:12963): GLib-WARNING **: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.33.12+really2.32.4/./glib/goption.c:2162: ignoring invalid short option '\xbe' (-66) in entry (null):http://google.com

It does not make topcube crash, but is kinda annoying as I can't figure out where it came from or it's effects.

This looks like an issue I've hit before. If so, it is in my opinion/experience a bug not in topcube but older linux versions (due to older glib?). You can work around by passing short options, see https://github.com/mapbox/tilemill/issues/1244 for more details.

The problem seems the same, however your fix didn't work for me. Still the same error.

The strange thing is that whatever the url I call topcube with, the error always point to http://google.com. This seems linked to topcube.cpp :

static gchar *url = const_cast<char*>("http://google.com");

When I change the URL there, the error also changes.

Also, when adding g_print lines to topcube.cpp to try to locate error source, the resulting error changes to things like invalid short option '\xf3'

I'm quite confused on what I should do about it.

Maybe try upgrading your debian/ubuntu version to 14.04 - the error will likely go away.

I tried updating with latest debian stable and error is still there.

I'll try using unstable package on some VM to see if it can really solve thsi problem.
