Hi, i am trying to emerge Alliance but I am having some errors.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Leo,

The package compiles fine here on a P4. Could you please recompile
with CFLAGS="-O2 ...." rather than "-O3" and report back?

Thanks,
Markus 

Sure, will try it again tonight and post the results here. Thanks.

Hi,

I am sorry my make.conf has -03 as default. How can I change it for this
package only (or should I change it for all my packages)? Is there any reason
for it not accept 03 optimization? 

Thanks!

If it's only to try a different set of CFLAGS when building a certain package,
all you need is pass them at the command line when you emerge the package. In
your case you would do this :

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe"
emerge alliance

(the above command is all on the same line)

And to answer your second question, yes, some packages don't like some of the
more aggressive optimizations, and we can filter them in ebuilds when
necessary.

Note 1. Specifying '-march=pentium-m' implies '-mtune=pentium-m', so you really
don't need the -mtune option in your CFLAGS.

Note 2. Your emerge info shows CXXFLAGS="", which is... hum... stupid ;o) You
may want to fix that and set CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" in your /etc/make.conf

Note 3. You have set the status of this bug to 'RESOLVED FIXED'. Does this mean
you have tried with -O2 and that it worked, or did you change the status by
mistake ? I reopen the bug until this is clarified.

Denis.

Thanks! No it did work with -02. I am making all the suggested changes right
now. Thank you again and sorry for all this confusion.

OK, but you shouldn't close the bug. We do so once the problem is fixed. And in
this case, the problem is not you using -O3, but alliance not building with
-O3. What needs to be done is to replace -O3 by -O2 in the ebuild, so that
people like you who use -O3 in their make.conf can still emerge alliance. I
will do so after the usual verifications.

So, please keep opening bugs, we love them, but let us close them. And thanks
for your input, as always.

Denis.

Oh sorry! I agree with you I dont know why I keep closing it maybe excitement
:) Since I closed it when I replied I just reopened the bug, ok? Dont worry
about bugs coming I am here to find them! hehehe I am trying to start using
Alliance now. Thanks for all your help.

Fixed.
