Reading site-wide parameters from ./config.site. Here we are again, this time on a x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu system. Using /usr/bin/gcc for a C compiler (set CC to override).

Looks like /usr/bin/gcc has an ANSI C preprocessor. ... but __ANSI_CPP__ is not automatically defined, will compensate. Looks like /usr/bin/gcc supports the -M option for generating make dependencies. Cannot locate a suitable C++ compiler. We attempted to compile the following test program: ---------------------------------------------------------- class foo { public: struct bar { int a; bar(); }; foo(); }; foo::bar::bar() { a = 0; } foo::foo() { bar x; } int main() { foo t; return 0; } ---------------------------------------------------------- with these compilers: g++ gcc CC NCC DCC gcc2 xlC but none of them were successful. To build this software you need a C++ compiler that supports a reasonably modern version of C++. In particular the compiler must support nested types and process temporary variables according to the ANSI Reference Manual (the ARM). If such a compiler is in a non-standard location, you can specify its location in several ways: o set the environment variable CXX o create a config.local or config.site file that includes a definition for CXX o supply it on the command line using -with-CXX=<pathname> If you are trying to use GNU gcc, but you do not have version 2.6.1 or newer, then you must update your compiler (and probably libg++ as well) before you can compile this software. Consult the documentation for information about obtaining an up-to-date version of gcc. Unrecoverable error!

hylafax's configure script is getting the wrong GCC version because of Gentoo's branding. The sed line in the checkGCCVersion() function grabs the last tuplet as the gcc version, which on my system is 1.0.1 from "gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1)". Since 1.0.1 < 2.6.1, hylafax refuses to use the compiler. It compiled after I gutted checkGCCVersion() to always return 0.
I can't reproduce this here, with basically the same versions as some posters: Portage 2.1.3 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.22.1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22.1 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.10 >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> net-misc/hylafax-4.3.1 merged. Hylafax configure does not seem to have a problem detecting my gcc versions, so I'm not sure what to say... It's hard to imagine everyone on this bug having toolchain problems, but that's my best answer right now. Please make sure your toolchain is correct, ie, run gcc-config to switch once or twice, run fix_libtool_files.sh, and check the following to make sure your installed versions of gcc are what you expect: $ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc-3.4.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 Jun 18 01:12 /usr/bin/gcc-3.4.6 -> /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.6/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc $ ls /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/ 3.4.6 4.1.2 4.2.0 $ ls /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/ 32 hardenednopiessp.specs libgcc.a libstdc++.so.6.0.3 SYSCALLS.c.X hardenednossp.specs libgcc_eh.a libstdc++_pic.a crtbegin.o include libgcc_s.so libsupc++.a crtbeginS.o libfrtbegin.a libgcc_s.so.1 libsupc++.la crtbeginT.o libg2c.a libgcov.a specs crtend.o libg2c.la libstdc++.a vanilla.specs crtendS.o libg2c.so libstdc++.la hardened.specs libg2c.so.0 libstdc++.so hardenednopie.specs libg2c.so.0.0.0 libstdc++.so.6
Can someone with this error please try the following, and let me know if it makes any difference. Try adding this line to the ebuild: myconf="CC=$(tc-getCC) ${my_conf}" right before the line that calls configure, then re-digest and give it a try.
Crap, better add CXX=$(tc-getCXX) to that line as well: myconf="CC=$(tc-getCC) CXX=$(tc-getCXX) ${my_conf}"
I've filed an upstream bug here: http://bugs.hylafax.org/show_bug.cgi?id=869 but I don't have time to mess with something like this right now. Feel free to post a patch if you have one, otherwise I'll see about a more appropriate fix as things develop.

The fix in comment #6 works. I changed the configure script a bit for the checkGCCVersion function: ... fi echo unsupported gcc version ${GCCversion}: echo `$app -v` return 1 } and it prints out this: unsupported gcc version 1.0.1: Using built-in specs.

Created an attachment (id=128629) [details] patch to fix test for gcc version
Created an attachment (id=128630) [details] ebuild that uses above patch This may not be the right way to do it, I'm no dev, but it works for me. Basically I just added: src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd "${S}" epatch ${FILESDIR}/gentoo-gcc-version.patch } to the existing ebuild. YMMV & HTH!
(In reply to comment #12) > Created an attachment (id=128629) [edit] [details] > patch to fix test for gcc version > The patch here assumes that the branding would never include the word "version" within it. If it were to include "version" then the sed may break down again. The bottom-line is that sed should not be looking at the branding text in the first place. The branding consistently appears within parenthesis, thus simply tell sed to look only at the text preceding the branding... like this: sed -n -e '/[Vv]ersion/s/[^(]* [a-z\-]*\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\).\([0-9]*\).*/GCCdist=\1;GCCmajor=\2;GCCminor=\3/p'
(In reply to comment #14) > The branding consistently appears within parenthesis thanks. I wasn't sure exactly what the definitives were on how the branding appeared. Note though that yours doesn't work either, because the [^(]* is greedy and therefore matches up to and including the 4 (in 4.1.2), and then GCCdist (the first [0-9]* matches nothing, and GCCmajor=1 and GCCminor=2... Incidentally, there is a . where there should be a \. even in the original configure file (between the second and third ([0-9]*\) which makes the above match slightly different... Anyway, this seems to work better: sed -n -e '/[Vv]ersion/s/[^0-9]*[a-z\-]*\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\).\([0-9]*\).*/GCCdist=\1;GCCmajor=\2;GCCminor=\3/p'
Created an attachment (id=128633) [details] second try for patch to fix match for gcc version with gentoo branding Man, regexs, I love 'em (and hate them :) this one is slightly different, I got rid of the [a-z]: sed -n -e '/[Vv]ersion/s/[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\).*/GCCdist=\1;GCCmajor=\2;GCCminor=\3/p'
This works for me, and it matches the tuplet outside of the parenthesis. sed -n -e '/[Vv]ersion/s/[^(]* [a-z\-]*\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\).*/GCCdist=\1;GCCmajor=\2;GCCminor=\3/p' Yes, the [^(]* is greedy, but it's less greedy than .* Remember that there is a whitespace following the [^(]* preceding the [a-z\-]* The whitespace keeps the greediness in check. I believe that the [a-z\-]* is there for the reason that some version at some time must have said something like "gcc-4.1.2". So it's there for a reason. The mere [^0-9]* at the outset does not handle the situation where the app name has a number in it, i.e. "gcc4 version 4.1.2", which numbering some distributions are apt to make. Again, please do try the regex I give above. Remember the whitespace. It works for me.
Even after I compiled it it didnt work, and I have set up hylafax before, several times, something seems screwed up, even though my modem is on ttyS0 and the config is for ttyS0 it tries to fax on tty4c

(damn line breaks :) yes, I think that does it. I agree on your other points about matching "gcc4" etc., too. thanks. I'll make a new patch.
Created an attachment (id=128729) [details] third try for patch to fix match for gcc version with gentoo branding
This is fixed in 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 (the latter has some additions that need testing and then stabilization). Thanks Lee and Iain for the patch.
