Description John5788 2005-05-29 10:50:19 UTC

When I go to emerge adesklets-0.4.8 after unmasking it in
/etc/portage/package.keywords, it fails with an error message saying I don't
have ncurses installed when I do.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "x11-misc/adesklets ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
2. emerge adesklets

Actual Results:

Comment 2 John5788 2005-05-29 10:52:35 UTC

I have ncurses installed.

[/home/john5788 :: 10:51 AM :: 1]
[root@john5788.x5788.net] $ emerge -pv ncurses

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

Comment 3 John5788 2005-05-30 13:40:22 UTC

I found the problem, the configure script screws up my CFLAGs and replaces
-freduce-all-givs with -freduce-allivs.

Comment 4 Michele Noberasco (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

You certainly are using some esoteric CFLAGS here... so esoteric that the gcc
folks are considering removing them from the compiler.

Comment 5 John5788 2005-05-31 06:53:20 UTC

Most of the CFLAGS I have are part of -O2. I just choose to list out the ones I
want starting with -O1

Comment 6 Michele Noberasco (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-05-31 07:47:50 UTC

It is the -freduce-all-givs that I was complaining about.

From man gcc:
-freduce-all-givs
 Forces all general-induction variables in loops to be strength-reduced.
 Note: When compiling programs written in Fortran, -fmove-all-movables and  
 -freduce-all-givs are enabled by default when you use the optimizer.
 These options may generate better or worse code; results are highly dependent  
 on the structure of loops within the source code. These two options are 
 intended to be removed someday, once they have helped determine the efficacy
 of various approaches to improving loop optimizations.
 Please contact <gcc@gcc.gnu.org>, and describe how use of these options
 affects the performance of your production code.  Examples of code
 that runs slower when these options are enabled are very valuable.

I suggest you drop this CFLAG, since it is giving you trouble...

Comment 7 S.Fourmanoit 2005-06-03 14:24:28 UTC

This should be be fixed in the code repository:

http://adesklets.bkbits.net:8080/main/cset@429b7f62u37Edk24JbS0WM3BvqR0Qg?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-7d

This will be included in adesklets 0.4.9.

Comment 8 Michele Noberasco (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-06-06 06:27:43 UTC

Just added version 0.4.9 to Portage, but it does not fix the -freduce-all-givs
issue. This is autoconf/automake problem, not adesklets'... Does the package
install properly without this CFLAG?

Comment 9 John5788 2005-06-06 06:58:00 UTC

Yes, it compiles fine without it.

Comment 10 Michele Noberasco (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-06-06 07:37:38 UTC

Then it all boils down to a matter of an unsafe CFLAG... as I said above, I
suggest you remove it from your make.conf.
