Bug 79331 – media-sound/gsm fails to emerge on ppc platform

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Kevin 2005-01-24 06:55:00 UTC]

I have the following packages installed (listed because it seems relevant):
gcc-3.2.3-r4
gcc-3.4.3-r1
gcc-config-1.3.8-r4

Output of gcc-config (with various options) is:
adam@hermes gsm-1.0-pl10 $ gcc-config -c
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.3
adam@hermes gsm-1.0-pl10 $ gcc-config -l
[1] powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.2.3
[2] powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.3 *
[3] powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.3-vanilla
adam@hermes gsm-1.0-pl10 $ gcc-config -E
export PATH="/usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.3:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/afsws/bin:/etc/afs/afsws:/usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/bin:/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/kde/3.3/bin:/usr/games/bin"
adam@hermes gsm-1.0-pl10 $ gcc-config -B
/usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.3
adam@hermes gsm-1.0-pl10 $ gcc-config -L
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.3

emerge -v gsm fails as described below.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -v gsm
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
root@hermes gsm-1.0-pl10 # emerge -pv gsm

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

So the Makefiles are identical (no patching by Gentoo ebuild) and I can
build the package by hand, but the emerge -v gsm step fails.  I don't
understand gcc-config very well, but that's clearly a part of the problem.
I have the impression that it's no problem to have two versions of a package
(like gcc) installed at once, but I'm not quite sure how I would make use of
one (or the other) if I wanted to, nor how I should safely unmerge one of
these gcc packages (so as not to break my ability to build software altogether).

I'll add that the package does emerge successfully on an x86 platform with
similar circumstances (two versions of gcc installed).

Expected Results:  
Success.

[Comment 1 Luca Barbato 2005-02-02 06:08:05 UTC]

here merged fine on the pegII (stable profile)
once I have back the tibook I'll try with the ~ profile

[Comment 2 Kevin 2005-02-02 06:12:30 UTC]

You say the pegII merged fine.  Did you have multiple gcc versions installed?

This is a tibook with multiple gcc versions and from the error report, the multiple versions seem to be implicated in the problem.  Same situation on an x86 platform does fine, but not here.  Thanks for looking at this.

[Comment 3 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2005-04-09 16:19:43 UTC]

I'm not sure why this would fail, did you just upgrade gcc as well?  
Also, was distcc turned on when the compile failed?  I see that you've got distcc turned on, but disabled for the emerge info.

Thanks

[Comment 4 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2005-05-07 19:00:39 UTC]

I'm going to close this bug, I can't reproduce it.  Please reopen if it's still a problem.
