We do not have the time to make sure everything works with compilers other than the ones we use. Use either the same compiler as we do, or use --disable-gcc-checking but DO *NOT* REPORT BUGS unless you can reproduce them after recompiling with a 2.95.x or 3.x version! Note for gcc 2.96 users: Some versions of this compiler are known to miscompile mplayer and lame (which is used for mencoder). If you get compile errors, first upgrade to the latest 2.96 release (minimum 2.96-85) and try again. If the problem still exists, try with gcc 3.x (or 2.95.x) *BEFORE* reporting bugs! GCC 2.96 IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED BY US ! *** For details please read DOCS/HTML/en/users-vs-dev.html *** Error: Bad gcc version Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed. !!! ERROR: media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7-r1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 479, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. It appears that it is getting the version of distcc as 2.x, and thinks that it's gcc 2.x (which isn't supported). Also, I'm not sure why it's using cc as opposed to i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc. If I remove distcc from the FEATURES variable in make.conf, everything works fine.
ok, when i tried it today, mplayer compiled fine with distcc. what happened? distcc fix or mplayer fix?
Closing, since it works now for him. :)
