Bug 104613 – games-fps/quake2-icculus-0.16.1 fails to build with gcc-3.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Bredbury 2005-09-02 08:48:09 UTC]

The ebuild contains "BUILD_DEDICATED=YES \" instead of "BUILD_DEDICATED=$(yesno
dedicated) \"

This small fix allows the ebuild to compile by turning the "dedicated" USE flag
off, because with BUILD_DEDICATED=YES I get the compilation error:

gcc -Wall -pipe -Dstricmp=strcasecmp
-DDEFAULT_BASEDIR='\"/usr/share/games/quake2-data\"'
-DDEFAULT_LIBDIR='\"/usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus-qmax\"' -DQMAX -g

dedicated use flag is unrelated to your error

the same output in the original report:

[Comment 3 Paul Bredbury 2005-09-05 19:45:44 UTC]

I'm unable to fix the compilation errors caused by the "dedicated" flag being
hard-coded to YES.  I found that adding this line to the ebuild, after the
"epatch" lines, helped:

sed -i "s/'/\"/g" Makefile

However, that gave rise to further nasty compilation errors.  I assume these
errors are appearing due to the increased strictness of gcc in recent versions.

I would imagine that 90% of emergers don't care about the "dedicated"
functionality (and would rather be able to compile the client, than none at
all), so I suggest that a new ebuild be released with my one-line patch.  Thanks.

[Comment 4 xblaim 2005-09-17 11:38:16 UTC]

Have the same problem...

[Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 11:58:18 UTC]

Seems like this bug might be related to gcc version.  It fails with gcc 3.3 but
builds fine with gcc 3.4.

[Comment 6 xblaim 2005-09-17 14:28:20 UTC]

You are right, thanks for tip

I' ve changed gcc-3.3.5 to 3.3.4 and now all is working fine

[Comment 7 xblaim 2005-09-17 14:42:12 UTC]

br, mistake: I' ve changed gcc-3.3.5 to 3.4.4 and now all is working fine 

[Comment 8 Wayne Powers, Jr. 2005-09-20 02:08:05 UTC]

I keyworded gcc ~x86 and emerged gcc 3.4.4 and now it will emerge.

quake2-icculus-0.16.1.diff

I'd like to add a "me too" that it compiles with the "dedicated" USE flag on,
with gcc-3.4.4-r1.

Let's not forget that this bug report was started *because* the "dedicated" USE
flag is ignored. So, enclosed is the patch equivalent to my original request to
make the "dedicated" USE flag actually have an effect - happily being, fixing
the compilation problem for roughly 90% of gcc-3.3.6 users.

[Comment 10 armand.karlsen_m 2005-09-22 08:54:07 UTC]

I've been advised against updating gcc-3.3.6 to 3.4.4-r1, citing possible bad
voodoo with Gentoo. Am I going to end up breaking things if I change?

[Comment 11 SpanKY 2005-09-23 18:01:44 UTC]

it doesnt fix anything, it ignores the problem

[Comment 12 SpanKY 2005-09-23 18:02:03 UTC]

well, it fixes the 'ignores dedicated USE flag', but that's it

[Comment 13 Paul Bredbury 2005-09-24 06:10:21 UTC]

(In reply to comment #12)
> well, it fixes the 'ignores dedicated USE flag', but that's it

Is that not a good-enough reason to apply the patch? I'm confused.

[Comment 14 Adrian Frühwirth 2005-09-24 06:14:02 UTC]

it only treats the symptoms, not the problem itself

[Comment 15 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-09-24 06:25:47 UTC]

We would still add the patch to enable/disable the dedicated support, but would
*also* like to actually fix the problem.  Otherwise, we'll have another bug 5
minutes later about "USE=dedicated quake2-icculus doesn't compile!"

There's no point in only half-fixing the problem.

[Comment 16 Paul Bredbury 2005-09-24 16:58:12 UTC]

*Compilation* with gcc 3.3.6 succeeds if these two patch lines in
quake2-icculus-0.16.1-gentoo-paths.patch are *not* applied:

BASE_CFLAGS += -DDEFAULT_BASEDIR='\"$(DEFAULT_BASEDIR)\"'
BASE_CFLAGS += -DDEFAULT_LIBDIR='\"$(DEFAULT_LIBDIR)\"'

[Comment 17 SpanKY 2005-09-25 01:27:01 UTC]

what's your point ?

[Comment 18 Algardas Pelakauskas 2005-10-21 06:42:43 UTC]

Any news? I'm getting the same error and would be happy to start the dedicated
server..

changes escaping of the path variables

Could somebody try this patch (of the patch ;) )?
It solves the problem for me, and I'm using gcc-3.3.6.

Instructions:
1. cat quake2-icculus-path.diff | patch -p0 -d
/usr/portage/games-fps/quake2-icculus
2. ebuild /usr/portage/games-fps/quake2-icculus/quake2-icculus-0.16.1.ebuild
digest
3. emerge quake2-icculus

[Comment 21 Paul Bredbury 2005-11-03 02:27:38 UTC]

Hi, I confirm that the patch in comment #20 works, on x86 (athlon-xp), after
switching back from gcc 3.4.4 and running "ccache -C". Compilation succeeds, and
the dedicated server works with the client.

[Comment 22 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-11-03 10:29:39 UTC]

Thanks for tha patch and also for testing it... Applied to CVS...
