Description Daniel Peters 2012-06-01 19:53:45 UTC

app-office/libreoffice refuses to build because it thinks gcc-4.5.3 is too old. I think the test
"( [[ $(gcc-major-version) -eq 4 && $(gcc-minor-version) -le 5 ]] )"
should be
"( [[ $(gcc-major-version) -eq 4 && $(gcc-minor-version) -lt 5 ]] )"

I would also like to know why you didn't add ">=sys-devel/gcc-5" to the dependencies? Is this against policy?

FF,
Daniel

@Daniel, I'm not a gentoo dev, but having a dep of >=sys-devel/gcc-4.5 wouldn't help because you can have multiple gcc's installed, and have an older version "active" via gcc-config even if you have 4.5 installed.

Right it should be lt rather then le.

Good catch.

This can't be hanled by dependency sadly as you can have multiple versions on system and we can't ensure which one is active.

Would be nice if everyone subjects the fully quallified ebuild in a bug, as "app-office/libreoffice-3.5.4.2-r1" points exactly; whereas "app-office/libreoffice" could be years old. 

You would spare the posters hours of recherche , and yourself a lot of duplicates...;-)

@Evan and Tomas: I see, thanks for clarification

@UncleVan: This can be easily fixed, thanks ;-)
