Bug 6755 – wxGTK emerge error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David McNab 2002-08-20 00:56:36 UTC]

Can't build wxGTK (as prerequisite of Audacity).

Error output follows:

Have you recently updated your portage tree?
There is a joystick fix already available.

emerge rsync
emerge audacity

That should give you a "nearly bug free" build of wxGTK-2.2.9. :)

Thanks for that.

The new ebuild did apply a patch to the joystick module.

However, the emerge still fails:

c++ -c    "-DwxINSTALL_PREFIX=\"/usr\""  -D__WXGTK__ -DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS
-D_REENTRANT  -MMD -march=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops

I'm not exactly sure how to attack this error as the only log message I have is 
from the assembler output from standard input... I have seen nothing on the 
wxGTK developer mailing list regarding this problem and I cannot reproduce the 
error myself.

I will be posting to the mailing list as soon as I get some vital info from 
you.  As soon as I get a response or if I get any ideas I will post here.

If you can tell me what version of binutils and gcc, processor type, and make 
options you are using, that should be enough basic information to supply to the 
list.

compiling without "-fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops" fixed it for me

[Comment 5 Nick Hadaway 2002-08-29 10:29:04 UTC]

Can I get the bug reporter's confirmation that this change in compiler options 
fixes the problem?   
 
I do not set -fomit-frame-pointer nor -funroll-loops in my default compiling 
options as it sets things too aggressive for some programs to compile without 
error. 

[Comment 6 David McNab 2002-08-29 20:05:52 UTC]

Yes - taking out '-funroll-loops' and '-fomit-frame-pointer' results in
successful build. Thanks!
