We need to reevaluate this patch

We're missing the important bit (i.e. where the error was) - any chance of a bit more? It compiles and installs fine here.

[Comment 2 Jory A. Pratt 2004-05-21 08:01:10 UTC]

sorry I cant redo the emerge I redid my system due to that fact that gcc was causing alot of problems with applications I was needing. This error only seems to show up if you have bootstrapped the entire system with gcc-3.4. when i get time I will setup a test machine to recheck the problem.

[Comment 3 Karol Wojtaszek (RETIRED) 2004-05-24 14:15:20 UTC]

I've compiled net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.3 with gcc-3.4.0-r4. It works fine.
I think that ebuild is broken, because `gcc-fullversion` returns "3.4.0", but we check "3.4":
[ "`gcc-fullversion`" == "3.4" ] && epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}-gcc34.patch
should be:
[ "`gcc-fullversion`" == "3.4.0" ] && epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}-gcc34.patch

Could you please test ethereal-0.9.16-r1?

[Comment 5 Eldad Zack (RETIRED) 2004-07-05 06:21:21 UTC]

Note that all the patch do is add -fno-unroll-loops.
The ebuild wasn't applying the patch, so I changed gcc-fullversion -> gcc-version.
and added the patch to 0.10.4 as well.

I couldn't replicate the compile errors, though, but my system wasn't bootstrapped with gcc3.4.

Could you test 0.10.4?

[Comment 6 Eldad Zack (RETIRED) 2004-07-11 04:33:41 UTC]

Ok, I understand there's no feedback on this.
You can reopen it when it is relevant.

Note that 0.10.5 is in portage, and compiling it on gcc3.4 yields a clean compile.
