In the nessus GUI application or xmms only tabs are shown in the windows, and no buttons or labels are showing up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge xmms 2. Start xmms 3. Press CTRL-P to bring up the preferences-dialog Actual Results: Preference dialog came up, but it missed all the buttons. Expected Results: Expected the buttons and labels to show up as normal. Removing -msse and -msse2 from CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf and re-emerging gtk+-1.2.10-r11 fixes the problem.
cflags are the users responsibility.
CFLAGS which break the build should be masked by the ebuild. AFAIK, the openoffice ebuild does this. I would not consider -msse and -msse2 as experimental CFLAGS. To get normal Pentium-M optimizations one need to use '-march=pentium3 -msse2' as CFLAG to get Centrino features (until -march=pentium-m is added to gcc) isn't part of gcc yet. At least the GTK 1.2.10-r11 ebuild should state with big letters that sse/sse2 optimizations will break functionality of the package.
it's too much a gcc/glibc/whatever thing. There's always 1 or 2 users who have a certain problem with certain cflags in certain circumstances, should we cap the cflags for all users for that ? No, we don't add caps until there's been a lot of reproducable proof on different systems. Considering this ebuild & has been around an eternity and you are the first to report such problems, I don't consider it evidence enough this is more than a local glitch.
Well. Unless GCC fix the SSE2 optimizations we will probably be bitten by this bug once people start using -march=pentium-m in their CFLAGS. According to http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-02/msg01328.html the only difference from pentium3 and pentium-m is SSE2 (at least to GCC). At least consider putting it into the documentation/faq/howto somewhere. Centrino laptops are getting more and more common... BTW: This was on a Dell Precision M60.
my make.conf has a warning about using pentium-4 and sse2 . I guess that should be extended to the pentium-m then. I wonder why we don't disable those flags by default for those architectures if we know they don't work.
gcc team, please check out comment #4 & #5
how about this: 'dont use -msse2 with pentium-m unless using gcc-3.4 or later' ? you never mentioned what version of gcc you're using so i'm going to have to assume 3.3.{2,3} in which case i say we do nothing to 'fix' this bug except tell the users of pentium-m the above warning
I'm using the gcc-3.3.2-r5, so you're quite correct. A warning like that would be most beneficial. BTW: When is gcc 3.4 slated for stable release in gentoo?
3.3.3-r4 is probably the next stable version of gcc to happen ... we're still working out different things with gcc-3.4 and until that settles, that wont be in stable nick: can you update make.conf to say something like Do not use -msse2 with Pentium-M CPU's unless using gcc-3.4 or higher.
Noted for future make.conf's. Not a portage bug, reassigning.
should be set ... not much more we can do
