Description Henryk Plötz 2003-08-25 21:04:55 UTC

When trying to emerge ntfsprogs on my gcc 2.95.3 system the configure step fails
with the message:

checking version of gcc... 2.95.3, bad
configure: error: Please upgrade your gcc compiler to gcc-2.96+ or gcc-3+
version! Earlier compiler versions will NOT work as these do not support
unnamed/annonymous structures and unions which are used heavily in linux-ntfs.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up a system with gcc 2.95.3 (such as the default-1.0 profile) and without
gcc 3
2.emerge ntfsprogs
Actual Results:  
configure fails with the abovementioned error message

az: will we ever have 2.96 or shall we just mask ntfsprogs for gcc-3.x and higher ?

Nope.  2.96 is dead as well, and less supported by most than 2.95.3 because
of
its legendary brokeness ...

Comment 3 Henryk Plötz 2004-05-16 19:29:00 UTC

ntfsprogs now is in category sys-fs and has proper dependencies. This bug can be closed
