Bug 27468 – GCC 3.3.1 needs >=patch-2.5.9

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) 2003-08-28 03:09:05 UTC]

If you try emerging gcc-3.3.1 with a version of patch installed, thats older
than 2.5.9, it gives this error when trying to apply one of the patches:

Failed Patch: 34_all_gcc33-coreutils-compat.patch.bz2!

This can be fixed by adding:

>=sys-devel/patch-2.5.9

to the DEPEND section of gcc-3.3.1.ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge a version of patch, that is older than 2.5.9
2. emerge gcc-3.3.1
3.

Actual Results:  
It fails with the error described above.

Expected Results:  
Applied the patch correctly, and installed GCC 3.3.1

I cannot do that, as it will break bootstrap.

Anybody know what version patch is in current livecd's ,etc ?

Resolving as FIXED, as I just merged patch-2.5.4-r5 on my x86 system, and
attempted to compile gcc-3.3.1-r4.  The coreutils patch applies without error.

Here is some of the output (slimmed down to show relevant data):

>>> sys-devel/patch-2.5.4-r5 merged.


>>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-devel/gcc-3.3.1-r4 to /

 * Applying various patches (bugfixes/updates)...
    ...
 *   50_all_gcc33-coreutils-compat.patch.bz2...                     [ ok
]


I suggest giving gcc-3.3.1-r4 a run to verify.  If the issue still persists,
feel free to re-open this bug.
