I had a gut feeling that this was caused by USE=hardened. So I tried removing
'hardened' and recompiled first gcc then cinelerra. It works. I thereby feel
that it is proven that it is the 'hardened' version of gcc that conflicts with
cinelerra.

cinelerra is now masked:

# <[e-mail]> (14 Jan 2005)
# Cinelerra is too broken to be fixed

Maybe this should be closed?

[Comment 5 Luca Barbato 2005-03-28 04:49:48 UTC]

please test cinelerra-cvs cinelerra is actively deprecated since is unbuildable w/out lots of dirty hacks

[Comment 6 Ole Tange 2005-03-28 15:04:30 UTC]

I tried. cinelerra-cvs depends on media-libs/openexr-1.2.2 and that fails. Output attached.

[Comment 8 Luca Barbato 2005-04-22 04:09:01 UTC]

basically there is a silent dep on a late version of openexr, isn't it?

[Comment 9 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-05-06 15:48:34 UTC]

The latter seems to be a problem with openexr itself.

[Comment 10 Stian Skjelstad 2005-07-28 03:30:58 UTC]

hardened causes PIC if I remember right, so there is the source of the problem.

[Comment 11 Stian Skjelstad 2005-07-28 03:42:40 UTC]

cinelerra-1.1.7/libmpeg3/video/output.c uses 6 of 6 x86 registers, so it can't
do PIC (or hardened)

[Comment 12 Ole Tange 2005-07-28 04:16:15 UTC]

You are probably right. 
 
So what would be the right thing to do when people do: 
 
  USE=hardened emerge cinelerra 
 
I believe the current error message is not the right thing to do. I 
see two options: 
 
1) Ignore the hardened-flag and emerge cinelerra without 
hardening. This would be right thing for me: I really care about the 
hardening for network daemons; whereas hardening user applications is 
not so important to me. 
 
2) Tell the user that cinelerra can only be emerged with the hardening 
flag off (e.g. using USE=-hardening). This would be the right thing 
for people that want to be absolutely sure that everything is hardened 
and who would rather not have installed the software than having a 
non-hardened version installed. 
 
I believe it is important that Gentoo can be installed without having 
to know every tiny detail. If people got a popup box saying: "It is 
not possible to install cinelerra with hardening. Do you want 
installation without hardening?" I believe most would choose to 
install anyway. Therefore I believe option 1 is the right thing to do.

[Comment 15 Matthias Schwarzott 2006-09-14 03:37:39 UTC]

This bug will be closed as cinelerra has been removed from the tree 6 month ago.
The openexr problem deserves a own bug if it still exists.
