Bug 57531 – emerge xine-lib-1_rc4-r1 failed on ppc

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description François Bissey 2004-07-18 16:43:03 UTC]

I decided to do an emerge -e world to recompile all my programs and libs with
the latest version of gcc and glibc in the ppc tree (not the ~ppc). It was long
overdue. The process stoped at the building of xine-lib-1_rc4-r1 with an 
interesting error I will put in attachment. xine-lib is a dependency of kde so I
cannot really do without it. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xine-lib
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
compilation failed.

Expected Results:  
success

Created attachment 35716 [details]
make output before failure of the build

[Comment 2 François Bissey 2004-07-21 16:32:28 UTC]

I see that xine-lib-1_rc5-r2, which is in ~ppc, has a useflag -altivec and that 
it actually compile. Considering that this version compile while xine-lib-1_rc4-r1
which is in ppc doesn't, shouldn't xine-lib-1_rc5-r2 be bumped in ppc?

AOL.

and then it goes on for pages and pages.  I can't get kdemultimedia off the ground either.

Can you guys try the rc_5 and report back if that doesn't work. It should work just fine since I included it in the GRP set for 2004.2

[Comment 5 François Bissey 2004-08-19 15:40:04 UTC]

I am now using rc5-r3 without problem and as I reported before I was using 
rc5-r2 without problem by enabling ~ppc for that build. The only problem was 
rc4 which was the version present in ppc.
