Bug 62489 – when update gimp to 2.0.4 version with +mmx flag I get a error on compile.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sergey 2004-09-01 03:08:38 UTC]

When i doing emerge -u world on gimp update my applications is stoped with error.
I see what when gimp is compile happen a error in file:
....
gimp-composite-mmx.c:145: error: can`t find a register in class `GENERAL_REGS` while reloading `asm`
gimp-composite-mmx.c:199: error: can`t find a register in class `GENERAL_REGS` while reloading `asm`
...

for the experiment I reruning emerge -u gimp by next command:

USE="-mmx" emerge -u gimp

..and the gimp is updated in my system.

later i attempt reemerge gimp with mmx option. but error happen again..

PS: sorry for bad english.

You wouldn't happen to be running hardened gentoo, would you?

Looks like a duplicate of bug #47177.

No.. that my "emerge --info"

[Comment 3 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-09-02 02:04:55 UTC]

Try removing -fPIC from your CFLAGS.

[Comment 4 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-09-02 02:06:15 UTC]

If the above works please try using CFLAGS="-DPIC -fPIC ...".

[Comment 5 Target 2004-09-02 08:14:28 UTC]

Same problem here, though I am using hardened.

I don't actually have fPIC in my CFLAGS, but I know hardened adds it... So I tried adding -DPIC to the flags and the compile went off without a hitch. Perhaps the ebuild should add -DPIC if it detects -fPIC?

[Comment 6 Sergey 2004-09-02 23:15:56 UTC]

I try emerge with removing "-FPIC" and additing "-DPIC -fPIC" flag.
In both versions emerge complete successfully. But if i right thing
this job must be done by emerge, not by my hand?

[Comment 7 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-09-04 01:49:15 UTC]

The GIMP ebuilds should be modified to add -DPIC to CFLAGS if it detects -fPIC - and hardened should be modified to automatically add -DPIC when it adds -fPIC.

[Comment 8 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-09-04 02:21:59 UTC]

Created attachment 38882 [details, diff]
Patch againt gimp-2.0.4.ebuild to add -DPIC when using -fPIC

[Comment 9 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-09-05 02:37:59 UTC]

Could someone running hardened please test the above patch with USE="mmx sse"?

[Comment 10 David Oberlitner 2004-09-06 21:52:00 UTC]

After applying the ebuild patch from comment #8:

emerge -v gimp              # Failed
USE="-mmx" emerge -v gimp   # Succeeded
emerge -pv gimp             # Default use flags

[Comment 11 solar (RETIRED) 2004-09-08 22:47:20 UTC]

In the case of testing pic.

(is-flags -fPIC || is-flag -pic || is-iflag -fPIE || is-flag -fpie)
As we can see this can get messy really quick.
perhaps this is an eaiser solution that will never fail that could be functioned.
echo | gcc ${CFLAGS} -dM -E - | grep -i __pic__ > /dev/null  && echo -DPIC

does this still happen with 2.2.6-r1 ?

[Comment 14 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-05-16 05:54:37 UTC]

no response from reporter, should be fixed in 2.2.6.

[Comment 15 François MASSON 2005-05-16 06:34:49 UTC]

Sorry for replying late.
No more problem with gimp-2.2.6-r1 for me.
