for amd64, arts-1.4.2-r1 and kdelibs-3.3.2-r8 fail to compile for me, complaining that i need to "recompile using -fPIC." i read about this on the amd64 project, so I presume this is where i report this kind of error. see emerge --info below Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge arts or kdelibs 2. see compile error 3. Actual Results: i didn't think to capture the actual error message. however, it barfed an error that was akin to "blah blah blah recompile with -fPIC" forcing it to pass "-fPIC" with my CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS permits them to compile right. Expected Results: (do i really need to fill in all these text boxes?) # emerge --info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/amd64/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Apr 23 2005, 21:53:16)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O3 -pipe -ffast-math -funroll-all-loops -fpeel-loops -ftracer -funswitch-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -fprefetch-loop-arrays" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O3 -pipe -ffast-math -funroll-all-loops -fpeel-loops-ftracer -funswitch-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O2 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--no-keep-memory -s" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X acpi alsa arts berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt curl emul-linux-x86 fam font-server fortran gif gpm imagemagick imlib ithreads jp2 jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas lzw lzw-tiff motif mp3 multilib ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam perl png python qt quicktime readline real samba spell ssl tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales vorbis xml2 xmms xpm xrandr xv zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS
looks like i'm having the same problem with kdebase-3.3.2-r1. is it something in my configuration? :/
You should at least try again with basic CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS, and then reopen if it still happens (make sure you disable ccache and clean /var/tmp/portage/ before).
yeah. clearing ccache and /var/tmp/portage AND throttling down my flags did the trick. so, yeah it was something in my flags. thank you :)
