Yang, Would you attach config.log ? Probably config.log is in /var/tmp/portage/gxine-0.5.0/work/gxine-0.5.0 .
Created attachment 72919 [details] config.log of gxine compilation Yes, here it is.
Yuta, I tried your multilib support files on my system(I found them by following ppc64 wiki): opera worked well without a problem, but firefox crashed when I browsed some websites with cjk fonts, especially forums. The same occured for epiphany, which I think may have something to do with mozilla rendering engine or xorg-x11 rendering functions. I use xorg-x11-6.8.99.15-r4(this version wroks, could it be marked test?). Here is the message: The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'RenderBadGlyphSet (invalid GlyphSet parameter)'. (Details: serial 19896 error_code 184 request_code 155 minor_code 24) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (1)
Yang, Sorry, I have not reproduced the problem about your gxine yet... I reply to comment #4 previously. I found that it is avoidable by using windowmaker or twm for the moment. And, this problem already exists on Bugzilla. Please check Bug #98958 and Bug #112355 .
Yuta, Could you post your emerge info? I tried gxine-0.5.1 to 0.5.3, but none of them could be configured properly. The same error persisted. Thank you.

The same program is performed by gxine-0.4.5. However, the test of gxine-0.5.0 cannot be passed in your environment. I have noticed the argument of a compiler being different in configure script of gxine-0.4.5 and gxine-0.5.3. Would you try attached program and tell me result ? 1. Download attached program source. 2. gcc -o conftest -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include conftest.c -lglib-2.0 3. ./conftest ; echo $? 4. gcc -o conftest -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -Wl,--as-needed conftest.c -L/usr/lib64 -lglib-2.0 5. ./conftest ; echo $? Please tell me the result of 2 times of ./conftest . Thanks in advance.

Yuta, The result is zero, for each of them: dehua@localhost ~/MyDownloads $ gcc -o conftest -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include conftest.c -lglib-2.0 dehua@localhost ~/MyDownloads $ ./conftest; echo $? 0 dehua@localhost ~/MyDownloads $ gcc -o conftest -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -WI,--as-needed conftest.c -L/usr/lib64 -lglib-2.0 dehua@localhost ~/MyDownloads $ ./conftest; echo $? 0 Thanks.
Yang, Thanks for your information! It is strange that a problem does not occur. Step 4 and 5 on comment #8 are doing the same thing as the configure script of gxine-0.5.3... When it compiles without using emerge, what happens to a result ? 1. tar xjpf /usr/portage/distfiles/gxine-0.5.3.tar.bz2 2. cd gxine-0.5.3 3. ./configure 4. make (If configure script is successful) Thanks.
Well, it failed with the same errors as emerge: checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes checking whether to build the Mozilla plugin... yes checking for X11/Xaw/Form.h... yes checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for GLIB2... yes found version 2.8.4 checking for GTK2... yes found version 2.6.10 checking for GTHREAD2... yes found version 2.8.4 checking whether glib uses the system malloc by default... configure: error: failed to run test See `config.log' for more details. yang02@localhost ~/gxine-0.5.3 I tried gxine-0.4.8 again, it had no problem. Thanks.
Yang, ummm... Sorry, I don't know the cause of this problem now... I have the idea which is not so good. This idea takes time very much and is very dangerous... I have noticed two points from your comment. * glibc version is 2.3.5-r2. The stable version is 2.3.4.20041102-r1 on PPC64 (64bit-userland). On the multilib environment, I think that 2.3.4.20041102-r2 is stable. (-r2 version adds multilib support to -r1 version) * Optimization level is -O3. On PPC64, -O3 is experimental and may have a certain problem (Compile fails, Compile passed but cannot run etc...) in some packages. So, please downgrade to glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r2, and perform `emerge -e world` using safe CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. Probably, you will be able to get the same environment as me. The example of work 1. echo '>sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r2' >> /etc/portage/package.mask 2. nano -w /etc/make.conf (Change CFLAGS) 3. emerge -e system 4. emerge -e world [NOTE] Downgrade of glibc is *very* dangerous. Please be sure to back up important your data. [SAFE CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS] "-O2 -pipe" is very safe. "-O2 -pipe -mtune=970 -mcpu=970 -mabi=altivec" is safe on G5.
Yuta, Thank you for your suggestions. I cleaned some nastes of symbilic links in ld.so indicated by ldconfig and something else I've forgotten, then I tried conftest.c you gave me again. The ./conftest failed with the same messages as in config.log when "Wl,--as-needed" option was used. So I excluded the option "Wl,--as-needed" and emerged gxine-0.5.3 manually. It worked fine. It seems clear that "Wl,--as-needed" in CFLAGS doesn't work in my system. Thank you very much for your great help.
I looked at the configure file and found that it seemed "Wl,--as-needed" option wasn't actually tested: 20493 echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5 20494 (exit $ac_status); }; } && 20495 { ac_try='test -s conftest$ac_exeext' 20496 { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_try\"") >&5 20497 (eval $ac_try) 2>&5 20498 ac_status=$? 20499 echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5 20500 (exit $ac_status); }; }; then 20501 ac_cv_ld_asneeded=yes 20502 else I think line 20495 should be 20495 { ac_try='./conftest$ac_exeext' to test if the conftest can be executed.
Hmm I see a -liconv in LTLIBICONV variable from config.log, have you dev-libs/libiconv installed ?
No, I haven't. Should I?
No it shouldn't be installed on glibc sysems, I'm wondering if the configure is doing something silly.
Well, the problem is that the binutils-2.15.* doesn't support AS_NEEDED, and there is no issue after I've upgraded it to 2.16.1. Thank you all.
