Created attachment 98309 [details, diff] 3.7.11-config64bit.patch Here is a patch to disable autoconfiguration of the config utility (by default it supports 32 bit systems)
Created attachment 98310 [details, diff] blas-atlas-3.7.11.ebuild.patch Here is the patch for the ebuild version 3.7.11
(In reply to comment #1) > Yes, I confirm the problem (Pentium4 630) > Thanks a lot for the patch! Just to make sure, you can confirm the problem for 3.7.11 or for 3.6.0-r1, for which this bug was originally filed? Thanks, Markus
I'm using the stable 3.7.11
(In reply to comment #5) > I'm using the stable 3.7.11 > Thanks, I'll test it tonight and probably merge it into 3.7.11-r1 together with the ASM volatile stuff. Since it only seems to be a problem with x86 its probably cleaner to do an if use x86; then epatch .... fi unless you know of any other arch where this causes trouble. Thanks, Markus
Conditional patching is never cleaner, it's impossible to send upstream...
(In reply to comment #6) > unless you know of any other arch where this causes trouble. I think there is a problem on archs where it's possible to choose a 32 bit or 64 bit system (like for x86/amd64). I have only experience on x86 systems :-)
(In reply to comment #7) > Conditional patching is never cleaner, it's impossible to send upstream... > Hi Donnie, I know. Unfortunately, most of these issues we're hitting with 3.7.11 are due to faults in blas' build system as far as I can tell (particularly for newer CPUs). I've never had any such problems on the two P4 systems I own. Many of these problems should be fixed in 3.7.17 and I don't think upstream will care about anything not related to the most recent release, i.e., we're probably on our own. What would a good alternative to conditional patching be in your opinion (other than "rewriting" 3.7.11 build system ;) ). Thanks, Markus
How about checking what .17 does? It's apparently doing it right.
(In reply to comment #10) > How about checking what .17 does? It's apparently doing it right. > Yeah, I was thinking about that, but .17 has a pretty major overhaul to the build system, hence I am not sure how much will transfer. Well, I need to dig into the source at some point anyway to (hopefully) fix the executable stack, and I might as well have a look at these issues. Thanks, Markus
Another option is just wait another week or so and stable .17
(In reply to comment #12) > Another option is just wait another week or so and stable .17 > That's true! On the other hand, I have the feeling that simply due to the way atlas does all its CPU specific code generation/optimization, there will always be a few corner cases where some users will run into trouble. Considering the number of people who use blas-atlas, and the number of bugs we're getting, 3.7.11 isn't doing too bad. best, Markus
I've just unmasked blas-atlas-3.7.23 which should fix these -m32/64 issues. Could somebody please test? Thanks, Markus
Yes, the version 3.7.23 works like a charm.
Great and thanks for testing. I'll close this bug then. Best, Markus
