I fixed a version long ago and sent the bugfix upstream, but this one looks unrelated.
using -mtune=G4, -mtune=G3 or USE -altivec it should work. (at least is working here on the G4)
Mark pointed out the bug here: configure:21661: checking altivec.h usability configure:21673: powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -c -O2 -mtune=powerpc -pipe conftest.c >&5 In file included from conftest.c:75: /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.0/include/altivec.h:37:2: error: #error Use the "-maltivec" flag to enable PowerPC AltiVec support configure:21679: $? = 1 and indeed, if i change config.h to define HAVE_ALTIVEC_H, the compile works so not a gcc bug ;)
Created attachment 84322 [details, diff] fftw-altivec-headers.patch this patch should fix the issue (it did for me) ... it should also be sent upstream ...
Hi SpanKY, Thank you very much for the patch! Does it by any chance also fix the altivec issues with gcc-3.4 (the ebuild disables altivec for gcc-3.4 at the moment)? Thanks, Markus
it should
Hi SpanKY, I've just added the patch to the fftw-3.1.1.ebuild and will send it upstream as well. Thanks again! best, Markus
you need to run autoconf in src_unpack after applying the patch ... either that or create a patch against configure ...
Thanks for pointing that out and for your patience :( I added an eautoconf and I better get some sleep now. Markus
