Try to upgrade to newest boinc on ppc32. Notice some warnings during configure of the sort "check for missing prerequisite headers?" and then bombs fairly early on in compile with various errors, the first of which is "error: expected identifier before ‘unsigned’". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take a ppc32 running stable branch with very limited set of unstable, like boinc 6.4.5-r2, which has been running fine since around May 2009 2. Do world update and let portage try to emerge the new boinc 6.6.40. 3. See some odd configure errors (as noted above) Actual Results: 4. See compiler bomb on errors (as noted above) Expected Results: Compiled boinc client. Tried j1 and no distcc.

...and it would be "nice", to see the log.
Just want to explain all the duplicates and the lack of a log...I was getting a bugzilla internal error when trying to submit the bug, so it appeared no bug had been filled. I did send the internal perl error message onto the Gentoo bugzilla folks as the error message requested. Sorry for the extra traffic from the duplicate bugs. I will fetch the error log now. /Mike
Created attachment 205447 [details] emerge log boinc-6.6.40 on ppc32 (G4)
Sadly i have no idea :/ It should work with complete stable (tested on one amd64) and also works on complete testing for both x86 and amd64. Lets ask ppc team if they have any idea what can cause this. @ppc: Any hints/ideas?
also please post emerge --info sci-misc/boinc not just emerge --info :]
Created attachment 205506 [details] emerge --info sci-misc/boinc In response to request. (Actually, I didn't know you could do emerge --info with an argument. Thanks for the tip, and here is the result.)
(In reply to comment #11) Looking at the output of emerge --info sci-misc/boinc more closely, I see I had ccache enabled. I will try now without this enabled to see if it helps.
(In reply to comment #12) No luck with turning off ccache. Same result, even though emerge --info gives distcc 3.1 powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] This machine is nearly all stable, but there is perhaps one exception worth noting in the tool chain, libtool. I wonder if there could be a problem because I am running libtool-2.2.6a? (I don't have anything from the 1.3 series installed.) mercury ~ # eix -I libtool [I] sys-devel/libtool Available versions: (1.3) 1.3.5 (1.5) 1.5.26 (~)2.2.4 2.2.6a **9999 {test vanilla} Installed versions: 2.2.6a(1.5)(06:05:45 PM 07/31/2009)(-vanilla) Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ Description: A shared library tool for developers
It was because of changes in compile flags which were not recommended for ppc. That leads configure script to generate non-compilable tests so everything was failing like detection of <sys/types.h> so config.h was adding #define size_t unsigned int but size_t is defined in <sys/types.h>... Anyway, 6.6.40-r1 is fixing that (bumping because changing compile flags is a QA issue). Thanks for reporting Mike :)
(In reply to comment #14) You guys, once again, rock! Well, perhaps I should specifically thank volkmar, but I continue to be a Gentoo fan. Works perfect now with -r1 version (including with all the recent ppc32 upgrades, like python 2.6, kernel 2.6.31-r1. Back to doing some good, hopefully for everyone via boinc :-) I can also say as an aside that 6.6.40-r1 works on a x86_64 (nocona), and regular x86. I usually compile myself on sparc and mips, but now feel hopefull about the 6.6.40-r1 version there too.
