• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gerrit Padgham 2003-04-07 13:58:41 UTC]

tried to emerge phoenix-cvs, part way through the compile, I got this error:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge phoenix-cvs
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
build failed to compile.

Expected Results:  
It should have finished compiling and installed, or, if its known not to build
on the sparc platform, then the apropriate keyword should be removed.

I am attempting to build this on a sunblade 100

I can replicate this, but as cvs is a constantly changing monster and it doesn't necessarily seem that this is a Gentoo problem.  I'm going to mark it as Resolved:WontFix and change the keyword to -sparc until such a time that it builds .

[Comment 2 Joshua Kinard 2003-04-30 13:27:04 UTC]

Actually, the problem is -mcpu=ultrasparc.  This is the same problem as Mozilla, -mcpu=ultrasparc triggers a segfault in this very file.  The workaround is to use -mcpu=v8, although it is safe to use -mtune=v9.  The optimum solution for this is to add a replace-sparc64-flags() into the phoenix-cvs ebuild to catch any and all instances of -mcpu=ultrasparc and change them accordingly to the save 'v8' value.

Re-opening, will test replacing the flags as Kumba suggests

[Comment 4 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2003-05-01 13:05:53 UTC]

Adding replace-sparc64-flags fixes the problem.  I've added it into the ebuilds and marked then as ~sparc again.
