Whilst emerging spim-6.5-1 I get a seg fault message.

Is anyone working on this?
Try it with CFLAGS="-pipe" The failure you report doesn't happen for me. You should consider using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" without ~x86.
Tried your suggestion. Doesn't work. Not sure, but it could be a problem with bison. I can't go back to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" because that will stuff up my system. Do you use x86 or ~x86. If so, why? I thought developers would be testing stuff, and not just using the stable system. Perhaps bumping SPIM up to version 7 would do the trick. When I manually compiled SPIM 7 the above error did not occur. It compiled, but it had some minor error in the install.
Yes, bumping up to version 7 has a little problem with install out of the box. But I got it to work (which is cool, because I got to do a lot of work with SPIM for uni). What I did was (You probably don't need this help, but it doesn't hurt). unpack Spim-7.0 archive Descend into Spim-7.0 directory ./Configure edited Imakefile (I need xpsim, not sure if these paths are correct, but it works) EXCEPTION_DIR=/usr/sbin BIN_DIR=/usr/bin MAN_DIR=/usr/share/man xmkmf make xspim make install Program MIPS Assembly using my new Spim-7.0. Thanks mate, but I do think the SPIM version should be bumped up to the latest version.
By the way, I feel like I am just talking to myself throughout. I believe that nothing has been done for a bug that does exist. Because it does not happen on the developers system, no doubt the developer runs the stable version of Gentoo (which I will never understand, that is like a programmer coding a development version of a database, and then testing the already stable version, when the stable version works, he believes the development version does to). I do not think I will ever contribute a bug report in the future, because, this developer is hopeless, and so is this bullshit process. I write, I get silence, I suggest bumping up the version, no yay, nay or ok, just silence. Well maintainer of SPIM shove it up your ass.
Part of the issue is that there *is* no maintainer for spim.
Created attachment 38904 [details] spim-7.0.ebuild (ebuild attempt) I'm not a developer but I attempted to provide you with an ebuild for spim-7.0. It seems to work on my box but it may require further editing and testing to get it perfect.
hey thanks for the ebuild, haven't tried it yet, but I will. If there is no maintainer for SPIM, unless anyone else would prefer to do it, I would like to volunteer to take it on. In fact, I know this might be a lot of work for the gentoo folk, but if they made a list of unmaintained packages, people could volunteer to maintain those packages, I think that would be ace. I would volunteer, and I think a lot of other people would to.
I'm running x86, and tried the emerge with CFLAGS="-pipe". I confirm Craig's bug report. app-emulation/spim-7.0 installs and runs. I propose that 6.5-r1 be taken out of the tree; optionally, mark spim-7.0 as x86.
spim-6 always has and continues to build fine for me so I guess I'm not the best person to address this bug. Since kloeri bumped spim to version 7 I'm going to pass this bug along.
I've bumped x86 stable to 7.0, hope this solves the problem for everybody.
