log_OOC680__en-US.log
The log file, as generated by the openoffice installation scripts.
The following line seems to be the culprit. I've had the same issue, I'm going to try emerging OO without the python USE flag and see if that works for now. /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-2.0.3/work/ooo-build-ooc680-m7/build/ooc680-m7/solver/680/unxlngi6.pro/bin/regcomp -register -br /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-2.0.3/work/ooo-build-ooc680-m7/build/ooc680-m7/solver/680/unxlngi6.pro/bin/types.rdb -br /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-2.0.3/work/ooo-build-ooc680-m7/build/ooc680-m7/solver/680/unxlngi6.pro/bin/pyuno_services.rdb -r /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-2.0.3/work/ooo-build-ooc680-m7/build/ooc680-m7/instsetoo_native/util/OpenOffice//services.rdb/en-US_inprogress_1/services.rdb -c vnd.openoffice.pymodule:mailmerge -l com.sun.star.loader.Python 2>&1 | Looks like bug 126777. python compiled with CFLAGS -ffast-math. Any chance the python ebuild filters that flag? Reassigning. python-herd, please see Hannos last comment and the link to the other bug. Would it be possible for you to filter --fast-math on the python-ebuild, it breaks our build... I'd prefer to die on any CFLAGS setting that specifies -ffast-math. It is an unsafe flag that is clearly documented as such. If people still want to use it, we should no go through lengths to allow them to maintain their illusions that fast-math can be used globally.

Cause if we do the latter, I guess people will most likely just remove --ffast-math from the their CFLAGS, try again and fail with this, again... IMHO flags like -ffast-math which are documented as changing the behaviour of the compiled code (not just "optimizing" it to go faster) should not be supported in system-wide CFLAGS. See also bug 126777 comment 25. As far as I can tell from the gcc man page it is more than just possibly "inaccurate" math: things involving NaN and Inf are no longer supported at all. So this should only be enabled by the build system for a package that knows it does not need this, not in system-wide flags. This whole issue doesn't seem to be only "--fast-math" related. It also occurs on the ppc platform with the following CFLAGS: "-O2 -mcpu=G4 -mtune=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe" Christian, that is probably a bug. -ffast-math is a severe case of pebkac. Andreas, I think that openoffice and python should both die on -ffast-math. The openoffice die should also refer to ffast-math in python. (In reply to comment #9) > Andreas, I think that openoffice and python should both die on -ffast-math. The > openoffice die should also refer to ffast-math in python. Paul, why not filtering --fast-math in python, instead of dying, since openoffice already filters it ? Denis. Denis, quite simple. -ffast-math is broken and short-sighted for a global flag. Filtering gives the shortsighted message that it works globally, while it is not suited for any package not specifically tested for it. As it breaks python, dieing makes people understand that it does not work on python. It is better than the alternative of not looking for it at all.

The > openoffice die should also refer to ffast-math in python. > Thats what I think as well. See my post in the forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-478378.html This issue should be fixed ASAP, since it's really unsatisfying. I'm trying to do my best to help resolve the issue but I'm not a programmer. The problem was caused by hunspell-1.14 (at least on PPC arch). After updating to 1.1.4-r1, the problem was gone. (In reply to comment #13) > The problem was caused by hunspell-1.14 (at least on PPC arch).

Add a "die" for each and every unsupported CFLAG that might break it? imho this is just weird, people using unsupported flags should stop using them, I don't think it makes much sense to maintain a list of globally unsupported flags in the python ebuild. I'm still not sure, what to do here, I mean I surely can make openoffice die if --ffast-math is used, but actually I think it would be better to come to a more global solution than that...

I tried to trigger some discussion about this on gentoo-dev@ [1] but it didn"t generate much interest. Maybe you could consider contributing to the thread ? Denis. [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/40362/focus=40362 If --fast-math exposes bugs in Python, then a test should be submitted upstream as part of their make check that will fail if --fast-math is used. If no such test exists, then there is a differnt issue that --fast-math being used. As is, Python's test suite all passes with -ffast-math for me. That is the better solution. It would demonstrate that Python did not build properly whether or not the system were Gentoo. If that were done, the Python configure script could also add a flag to turn off the specific optimization enabled by -ffast-math that breaks it. I would agree with adding such a test to the python test suite. I don't see though a need for upstream python to remove things in the configure script. It is up to them though. I had a similar install failure here, but with python build with realy standard CFLAGS (CFLAGS="-mcpu=G4 -mtune=G4 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -maltivec -mabi=altivec -pipe") Created attachment 94184 [details]

Failed install log
Illusion. Your bug does not seem to be entirely equal to this one. I did however check out on the ppc flags. You don't need to specify -maltivec as it is selected automatically by the -mcpu flag. The -mabi flag however does seem to be a bit dangerous and could very well cause your problems. CFLAGS are taken from "Safe CFLAGS" article from Wiki and as far I know they are common for G4. I can try without mabi, but this is hard a bit because OO build takes ~18h onthis machine :/ This is real shame that there is no openoffice-bin for PPC, I realy hate to build this package because it likes to fail on install after many hours of compilation ... grrr Also what is helpfull is a compilation log (the complete output of portage). That is often more insightfull than an openoffice installation log. (In reply to comment #23) > Illusion. Your bug does not seem to be entirely equal to this one.

During 2006.1-building I found out, that OOo could be built with the ppc-generic-profile only. As soon as I use a G3 or G4 subprofile it fails. Filtering out -mtune={G3,G4} and -mcpu={G3,G4} in the OOo-ebuild does not help. It seems that the problem lays deeper with a dependency that is compiled with optimized ppc-CFLAGS. OOo problem on ppc seems to be caused by compiler bug IMHO I was able to build OOo for G4 fine using specyfic CFLAGS. Take a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143882 Generaly only mcpu=7400 works here. Anything else cause OOo to fail on install when registering python UNO modules. *** Bug 146861 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** As no other solution seems to pop up anywhere, I've now added a line to the openoffice-ebuild to break when -ffast-math is in the CFLAGS. Original problem is solved by this, so closing |
When emerging openoffice 2.0.3, the compile phase completes, but the emerge fails during install. When it does, I still have 1.6GB available on my hard disk.
