Bug 37621 – DDD fails to emerge on PPC

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Daniel Barowy 2004-01-08 09:31:30 UTC]

I cannot emerge GNU DDD with 'sudo emerge ddd'.

I'm not [much of] a programmer, otherwise I would try to give you more information.  I've included the last few lines of output from portage.

Feel free to contact me for further information.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo emerge ddd


Actual Results:  
last few lines...

Expected Results:  
I expected DDD to emerge without error.

Running programs (while I was emerging; I was _only_ emerging one ebuild, ie, DDD):

dev-util/ddd-3.3.7 compiled sucessfully on my ~ppc box. Can you please check and see if it works for you?

[Comment 2 Daniel Barowy 2004-01-09 08:49:24 UTC]

dev-util/ddd-3.3.7 also fails on PPC.

Here are the last few lines of Portage output:

[Comment 3 Kevyn Shortell (RETIRED) 2004-01-09 12:21:48 UTC]

What profile are you using? Stable or ~ppc?

I'm running sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r3 and it emerged without any errors. So the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is gcc issue, cflag issue, or a weird useflag. =)

So can you let me know which your using, what your cflags and useflags are?

[Comment 4 Daniel Barowy 2004-01-09 13:28:10 UTC]

Here's all the information you asked for:

My ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is "ppc".

gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice)

CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mcpu=7400 -maltivec -mabi=altivec"

USE="X gtk alsa usb cups pam truetype -kde -gnome dvd -esd crypt xmms encode"

[Comment 5 Luca Barbato 2004-01-15 22:43:47 UTC]

please rebuild gcc

[Comment 6 Bartosch Pixa (RETIRED) 2004-01-17 11:44:59 UTC]

compile it without -maltivec -mabi=altivec, think we will have to filter this out

[Comment 7 Kevyn Shortell (RETIRED) 2004-01-18 01:19:57 UTC]

It's not altivec friendly. I've tried it on 3 G3 boxes and no issues. Tried it on a g4 with stock cflags and it fails. tried it using non g4 optimized flags and it works. Another thing to note is I have 3.3.7 installed and working on my g3 box, 3.3.1 is somewhat out of date.

So for the workaround don't compile it with -maltivec -mabi=altivec or without any optmized cflags at all, and we'll have to send this upstream to the ddd team as its not a gentoo related bug.

[Comment 8 Daniel Barowy 2004-01-23 16:24:40 UTC]

Rebuilt and upgraded gcc from r2:
gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r3, propolice)

Compile still failed, with the same error.

I removed -maltivec -mabi=altivec and it compiled without a problem.

Ok, thanks!
