Bug 136026 – KDM 3.5.3 fails to build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Steven Parker 2006-06-07 22:22:25 UTC]

I have tried to build the kdm-3.5.3 package several times, and it always comes up with an error at the same point.

Here is my emerge --info

-fomit-frame-pointers is not a valid flag.

[Comment 2 Steven Parker 2006-06-08 06:14:54 UTC]

Not that I'm trying to argue or anything, but how is it that I've been able to build every other package on my system with that flag if it's not valid?

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-06-08 06:24:36 UTC]

Because gcc silently ignores the invalid flags.
But when -fomit-frame-pointer is filtered, it becomes "s", that is what your message refers to.

[Comment 4 Steven Parker 2006-06-08 06:28:23 UTC]

Ok, that makes sense. Seems kind of stupid, to me anyway, that it would just silently ignore them without spitting out some kind of warning at least. At least the option doesn't severely affect the system.
