Bug 175313 – sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r2 can't compile wireshark svn version

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toralf Förster 2007-04-20 07:35:32 UTC]

As discussed here http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200704/msg00250.html and here http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200704/msg00276.html it seems that gcc has a bug which prevents someone to compile the current wireshark svn version.

Is there any fix available for this issue of gcc ?

Reproducible: Always

if you can rip out a small patch against gcc and verify it works, i'll probably merge it ... start here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=157308

otherwise, as Carsten said ...

Ok, do you think about including this patch (http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-05/msg01541.html) ?

*cough* ... and verify it works *cough*

patch for gcc

Creating a local overlay ebuild (see diff below) emerge of gcc was done succesfully and now wiresharks vompiles and runs fine :-)

patch available

[Comment 7 Toralf Förster 2007-04-22 11:04:27 UTC]

BTW, in addition I compiled the current linux kernel with this compiler as well as util-linux and other packages to see, whether there are side effects or not. Until now I didn't observed any problems with this patch.

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2007-05-19 03:36:16 UTC]

added 3.4.6-r2
