I encountered this problem when tryting to compile mjpegtools using GCC 3.2 under gentoo-1.4_rc1. When compiling certain packages (mjpegtools, and probably a few others) with "agressive optimizations", the build fails. Take a look at https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/limbo-list/2002-July/000629.html . I know some packages disable high optimizations within the ebuild itself....perhaps this should be done for mjpegtools as well. Trying to build mjpegtools-1.6.0-r4 with: CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" fails. But this: CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -O2" works fine. Has anyone else experienced this problem? -Justin
vapier, title change wasn't necessary. it in fact works with -O3 -march=pentium3 -pipe
is it the -fomit-frame-pointer which killed it for you, or was it -march=pentium4?
Oops...it turns out that the -march=pentium4 was the cause. Works fine with: CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" -Justin
should be fixed in -r5. thanks for the bug report.
My first "RESOLVED FIXED" bug report :-) . I'm glad to be of help. -Justin
you're welcome! this class of bug report is fairly common. we use the flag-o-matic elcass (in /usr/portage/eclass) to crop a users CFLAGS to stuff we know actually works. (just in case you're curious)
