Bug 152667 – wxGTK linking failure on ppc w/ binutils-2.17

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Timothy Stotts 2006-10-24 08:43:02 UTC]

It is necessary to compile gpac-0.4.1_pre* and gpac-0.4.2 with USE='-wxwindows' for linking to succeed with gcc-4* on PPC.

rebuild wx please...

[Comment 5 Timothy Stotts 2006-10-27 08:48:10 UTC]

Confirmed. My genlop -l shows that I effectively did:
(1) build of wxGTK 2.4* and 2.6*
(2) upgrade only binutils
(3) compile against wxGTK
(4) notice failure to link

Recompiling wxGTK with new binutils then allows new packages to link against it.

(Unusual behavior IMHO.)

Change to whatever resolution you think most appropriate :).

Worked for me after the upgrade.  It's weird behaviour, but I don't think that we can "fix" it.

Feel free to reopen if you have an idea as to how to catch the problem.
