Bug 29464 – compatibility fix: All recent hylafax ebuilds may be affected by a unrecognized gcc version string (was: hylafax-4.1.7.ebuild vs. gcc 3.3.1)

• Status: VERIFIED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Torsten Kurbad 2003-09-23 15:44:57 UTC]

I encountered a problem as I tried to compile hylafax with gcc 3.3.1

The hylafax configure-script has to be fixed, since gcc -v reports
gcc-Version instead of gcc-version for newer versions of gcc (note the "new"
capital "V")

I attach the respective patch for the configure-script.
Unfortunately, I don't have time yet to change the ebuild accordingly, but this
should be no problem to the maintainer... ;o)

Regards,
Torsti :o)

Thanks.  Now testing...

[Comment 3 Steve Arnold 2003-10-04 01:36:52 UTC]

I don't currently have another machine to bump gcc on, but I might have an
alternative fix.  Try the new ~x86 ebuild and let me know what happens.

[Comment 4 Torsten Kurbad 2003-10-04 03:13:17 UTC]

Hmm, same here - I don't even have my hylafax-machine running at the moment,
since I'm about to move to another town. But I'll check the new ebuild as
soon as possible.

[Comment 5 Alexander Gabert (RETIRED) 2004-03-03 05:25:10 UTC]

a duplicate bug with a newer hylafax version seemed to come across this old problem again, reopening to the package maintainers discretion and appending the newer bug to this original one.

[Comment 7 Steve Arnold 2004-03-03 21:02:53 UTC]

Is this still a problem?  I'm beyond the 3.3.1 version of gcc, and 4.1.8-r1
still builds fine for me.  If anyone still needs the gcc Version patch, please 
speak up and I'll make an -r2 ebuild.

Here's my build info:

gcc version patch for hylafax 4.1.8

Since the solution with autoreconf didn't work for me, I created a new patch,
ebuild and digest. (See attachments)

It works well on my system with gcc-3.3.3

Exthaustive testing and check-in to the rsync tree is requested! ;o)

Torsti

I also got the gcc-error during emerge of hylafax-xxx-r1. My emerge --info looks pretty much the same as the one above. Then I used the three files Torsten posted and emerged from my OVERLAY. It worked flawlessly. Thanks Torsten!

Ciao,

Now in portage; if someone with the problem can confirm it works for them, I'll 
close this sucker...

[Comment 14 Steve Arnold 2004-05-08 10:20:32 UTC]

No negative feedback on this, so closing...
