Bug 67789 – When emerging kdebase,in the satge of compiling glib-2.4.6,it stopped.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Huang 2004-10-16 09:09:27 UTC]

When I was emerging kdebase,there was a message :
./configure line 4563,illegal instruction $PKG_CONFIG --atleast-pkg-config-version 0.14 ***pkg-cinfig too old,need 0.14 or better...***(I don't remember all words.)
Then I checked my pkg-config version,it is for sure 0.15(better than 0.14).what's wrong ?
By the way,my architecture is athlon,started from stage3,X is xorg-x11.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

>in the stage of compiling glib-2.4.6
read _not_a_kde_package_ :)

dev-util/pkgconfig-0.15.0 is stable on all archs, please emerge it


@gnome herd: I guess it's pretty safe to adjust the dependency, but it's your package and maybe you want to test other versions, too.

argh, I whould really lern to read the full comment, _before_ answering. Anyways - you're in the best hands.

Illegal Instruction??

[Comment 4 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-10-17 05:07:45 UTC]

where is the output of "emerge info"? it is most likely you're using the wrong CFLAGS for your architecture.

Dear all :
Thanks for your messages.I did saw "illegal instruction...",
and I did have pkg-config version 0.15 which is better than
version 0.14.
If it was really something wrong with the CFLAGS,here are my
CFLAGS :
"-O3 -pipe -march=athlon-tbird -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse,387 -fomit-frame-pointer"
I couldn't do "emerge info" now,I only got one hard drive,
so I have removed the whole gentoo system.
If I did anything wrong with CFLAGS,please point it out,
I really couldn't realize what was wrong,I ever used the same CFLAGS last time,and it worked well before I crashed
it.

are you sure you have a athlon-thunderbird with sse support? try taking out the -msse -mfpmath and remerge your system. you should also look in /proc/cpuinfo to make sure you're enabling the right options. 

but if you've removed your whole system, you're going to try this? or have you given up?

[Comment 7 Michael Huang 2004-10-18 21:28:16 UTC]

Dear Alastair :

I won't give up,it's not an option.I tried Redhat,Mandrake,Debian ever,
I couldn't stand with the so-called "dependency" any more.Gentoo is what I was looking for.
I'll try again later,thanks.

Closing this for now, I think liquidx elicited the problem/solution. Michael, please re-open if this becomes a problem for you later.
