Bug 29443 – Probably problems for ximian-connector and evolution compiled with gcc 3.3.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Andrea Cerrito 2003-09-23 10:15:48 UTC]

Evolution (1.4.4) hangs on closing when used with ximian-connector (1.4.4.0.6.1).
The message after some minutes is: 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use evolution with exchange connector
2. Close
3. Wait

Actual Results:  
Backtrace was generated from '/usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-exchange-storage'

I cannot guarantee that this problem is due to gcc-3.3.1-r1, because I emerged
gcc, recompiled evolution and emerged the new connector.

perhaps related to Bug 29467 ?

[Comment 2 Andrea Cerrito 2003-09-24 07:27:20 UTC]

I don't know, but I can try (later, I'm at office right now).
But: I remind that connector downloaded is for redhat (7?): I don't want that there might be some problems between evolution (gcc 3.3.1) and connector (gcc ???, perhaps 3.2.x).

I'll try using that patch, anyway.

[Comment 3 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-09-24 07:29:37 UTC]

you have to download the one for redhat-9

[Comment 4 Andrea Cerrito 2003-09-24 09:39:56 UTC]

Yep, I don't remember the version, but the problem [may] persist: which gcc was used to compile the connector? :)

I'll test the patch.

ximian-connector still crashing. :(

[Comment 6 Andrea Cerrito 2003-10-12 17:15:21 UTC]

any clue?

[Comment 7 Andrea Cerrito 2003-11-09 23:15:27 UTC]

no-one? :(

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2003-11-10 15:37:36 UTC]

hmm not me.. i dont have no connector

i think you would be better off checking out the ximian mailinglist/bugzilla/etc.
for solutions

do report your findings back please

[Comment 9 Alexander Gabert (RETIRED) 2004-03-05 02:36:52 UTC]

hi

did you try to compile both the connector and evolution with less aggressive optimization flags, possibly temporarily removing -fforce-addr for example?

also you could try newer gcc versions available

please report back if we can close the bug if the problem vanished

thanks,

Alex

when there is no update to this bug in the next week, i am going to test this with new gcc and mark it WORKSFORME then,

thanks in advance,

Alex
