Description Evan Teran 2006-08-16 22:05:48 UTC
-march=penitum-m breaks alsa-libs, when i compiled with:

CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"

i was unable to launch artsd in KDE without getting an "inappropriate ioctl" error , after running the artsd command from the command line, i narrows the issue down to alsa-libs. Finally after noticing the last entry on this page:

https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=TroubleShooting

I decided to test reducing the pentium-m, because i have a friend who is running fine with almost identical flags except not pentium-m.

So ran this command:

CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" emerge media-libs/alsa-lib"

(pentium3 is apparently closest match to pentium-m)

and artsd works like a champ. clearly until gcc fixes this (or alsa?) pentium-m should be filtered from the ebuild.

thanks,

Evan Teran

I think that i have the same problem, but i can't fix doing "emerge alsa-lib" and change -march=pentium3. I also try -march=i686 and i can't hear nothing. Root can execute aumix and change the mixer, but the other users can't do it. I can't use mplayer, etc..

MPlayer error:

Comment 3 Patrick McLean gentoo-dev 2006-09-16 18:07:36 UTC
Try with -O2 rather than -O3
Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-01 22:58:19 UTC
Can you confirm this problem with GCC 4.1?
Comment 5 Evan Teran 2006-10-02 21:43:33 UTC
I can not replicate since the move to 4.1, so I would consider it resolved in that regard. Are there any profiles which are locked to the 3.x series? if so, it may still be an issue for those.

Comment 6 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-03 01:47:29 UTC
Considering closed by UPSTREAM (gcc's) unless this is reported again then :)
