Bug 197415 – sci-mathematics/Macaulay2-0.9.95-r2 fails to compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Andrey Grozin 2007-10-29 13:33:42 UTC]

Maybe, something changed in gc.h recently? I get
....
gcc -O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe -Wall              -Wshadow -Wcast-qual -Wno-parentheses -Wno-sign-compare -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wno-strict-aliasing -O3  -Wno-unused-label -I../../include -I./../../include -I. -I. -I../util -I../e -I./../regex -I/usr/include/gc -I/var/tmp/portage/sci-mathematics/Macaulay2-0.9.95-r2/work/include -DNDEBUG  -c -o M2lib.o M2lib.c
M2lib.c: In function 'Macaulay2_main':
M2lib.c:436: error: conflicting types for 'GC_get_stack_base'
/usr/include/gc/gc.h:886: error: previous declaration of 'GC_get_stack_base' was here
M2lib.c:436: warning: declaration of 'GC_get_stack_base' shadows a global declaration
/usr/include/gc/gc.h:886: warning: shadowed declaration is here
M2lib.c:542: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2007-10-31 12:47:28 UTC]

Thanks much for the note Andrey!

Presently it seems Macaulay doesn't even build for me due
to a segmentation fault.
This package really frustrates me; I've spend a considerable
amount of time in the past to get it to compile and pass
all the tests, but everytime one either upgrades library foo
or compiler bar it breaks again.

Just for completeness, could you please post your emerge --info
as well as your version of boehm-gc.

Thanks,
Markus

I apologize that nothing has happened here in a while,
but unfortunately Macaulay2 currently fails to compile
both on my x86 and amd64 dev boxes and I have yet to 
figure out why.

best,
Markus

[Comment 4 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2008-01-06 15:54:53 UTC]

Hi Andrey,

I've just committed Macaulay2-1.0 to the tree. It compiles
fine for me on x86 and amd64. Could you please give it a try and
see if it works for you? Please note that dev-libs/boehm-gc-7.* has
to be built with USE="-threads" since its thread implementation
seems to be broken atm.

Thanks,
Markus

[Comment 5 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2008-01-30 14:15:52 UTC]

Since Macaulay2-1.0 is now in the tree please try
this one an file a new bug should there be any
problems.

Thanks,
Markus
