cannot compile qt

This is on a dual athlon xp system with
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe"
and
USE="3dnow alsa avi berkdb cdr crypt cups dga directFB doc dvd
encode -esd evo fbcon gd gif gnome gphoto2 gtk2 gtkhtml
-i18n imlib innodb java jikes jpeg kde libwww -maildir mbox
mmx motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses -nls oggvorbis
opengl oss -pam pdflib perl plotutils png qt quicktime readline
ruby samba sdl slang slp socks5 spell ssl svga -tcpd tetex tiff
truetype X xft xml xml2 xmms xv zlib"

(but the CFLAGS does not seem to affect flags when compiling glibc,
and I have tried with and without optimizations and with and without
the debug flag wherever I can).

I have had this problem for a month or two now. uic seg faults every
time I try to compile qt:

cd designer && make -f Makefile
make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/qt-3.1.0-r1/work/qt-x11-free-3.1.0/tools/designer/designer'

If I run uic in gdb, it seg faults in src/codecs/qtextcodec.cpp, in the
source for QTextCodec::codecForLocale(), at the line:

char *charset = nl_langinfo (CODESET);

If I put a printf statement right before it to print out CODESET:

printf("CODESET is %d\n", CODESET);

I get a segmentation fault in _IO_vfprintf in glibc 2.3.1 at a very
strange place. It seg faults while executing the line:

int save_errno = errno;

If I try to run mplayer right now, I get a segmentation fault in exactly
the same place in _IO_vfprintf in glibc 2.3.1.

PLEASE HELP, someone! I am really tired of having no qt or KDE,
and no mplayer is a huge problem.

My only guess here is that the stack is getting corrupted? Of course
glibc won't let me compile it without any optimization, so the line
reported as where the seg fault is actually happening might be
completely bogus (I think?). It's definitely a messy problem, and I
don't think I have the experience I'd need with any of gdb, glibc, or
var-arg stuff to figure this one out any time soon.
:cry:

What version of GCC? Moving to DE.

Say, moderator, you've had three posts of the same msg, did that to me in another fourm - is there a prob with the S/W??

Anyway, the seg fault, mmmm Athlon eh? Not clocked is it? Memory not clocked as well/either is it?

There many,many problems associated with intensive tasks such as compilations, when using unstable HW - which is what you'll have if anything is clocked. I wont go into a ramble about why as you may not have anything clocked, but if you do, put it back to normal in BIOS and try again.

Yes, I don't know exactly where the problem is. I am cleaning the extra messages.

I have the EXACT same problem. I'm on a rev1 TiBook, ppc 7400, ATI Rage 128, no env variables affect the segfault like in above post.

I've been looking all over and I can find very few references to this problem (3 exactly), but no apparent solution, and yet it seems to be quite old... The first ref is from year 2000.

WTF? I've been into the build dir, played around with all the flags, nothing seems to keep uic from segfaulting, even segfaults when I just call it on its own, no args.

*** I EVEN copied the version from the livecd into the qt/bin dir, but of course it's a different version and wants dynamic libs to be already installed, sigh.

This has got to have been seen elsewhere, once again wtf, this has held me up from installing for THREE DAYS!

Grrr. Thanks for any help on this.

I'm installing 1.4_rc6 and rc8 on my iBook 500 Mghz, but keep coming up with the same error when I do an emerge qt. Everything else seems to be working ok--I noticed the error when tried to emerge kde, then emerge xfree also failed. I formatted the drive and tried it again using the stage 3 version of rc8 with the same error. What gives? I've tried different USE settings with no success. Here's the error:

!!! ERROR: x11-libs/qt-3.1.0-r3 failed.

My USE flags are USE="acpi mysql rage128 samba spell usb wmf -gnome -gtk -mozilla -python".

My CFLAGS are the default: CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -mcpu=750", but I've also tried it with the -02 flag set instead, as well as with the rc6 default flags for generic PPC. I can't figure this one out. Is anyone else having trouble?

there is a bug report on this topic. so maybe it isn't possible to compile qt-3.1.0-r3 on ppc machines.

compiling the masked as unstable qt-3.1.2 worked.
