 Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 10:35 am Post subject: gcc-4 masked by profile for ppc64? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Solution -> manually set /etc/make.profile to the gcc-4 profile
| Quote: | | ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/ppc/ppc64/2006.1/64bit-userland-gcc4 /etc/make.profile |
Ok, I'm probably missing something simple but I'm just not seeing it. I'm trying to upgrade GCC from 3.4.6-r1 to 4.1.1-r3 on a virgin gentoo install of ppc64 with 64-bit userland. Emerge tells me it is masked by profile.
http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=gcc says gcc-4.1.1-r3 is stable for ppc64
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160663 says gcc-4 is stable on ppc64
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/ppc/ has a news announcement saying PowerPC development switched to gcc-4.1.1 in July of 2006
So, I must be missing something or maybe gcc-4.1.1 is a no go in 64-bit userland?

And if you were curious why I want/need gcc-4.x... I'm trying to compile a newer kernel(2.6.19) with md_raid456 support but there is a bug in the gcc-3.4.x branch that kills the compile. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26610
Let me know if more info is needed or there is something I can try. Thanks for any help and pointers.

Thanks! That was what I was missing.

| I'm going to try setting up an XServe with Gentoo and 64-bit userland. This is my first experience with 64-bit in general, but I'm wondering what you're experiences have been with it on PPC in particular. Are there any trouble packages you've run into? What are you primarily using it for? Thanks for your help. |

This was/is my first time using PPC. The XServe was a box I inherited after it was retired from its original production purpose. I'm looking at recycling it into a network management box(monitoring, collection of logs, trouble-ticket system, network scanning, etc).
The biggest gotchas I've run into is upgrading to GCC-4 and using software raid for root. The LiveCD ships with gcc-3.4.6 and kernel 2.6.17. Changes to md_raid in 2.6.18 & above bring out bugs in the gcc-3.x compiler.
Upgrading to gcc-4.x includes upgrading glibc to version 2.5. glibc 2.5 doesn't compile cleanly with the gcc-3 branch.
Quick run-down of events....
emerge -pv gcc
note the prerequisites and emerge the preqs before emerging gcc
After emerging gcc, run gcc-config to switch the compiler to gcc-4, run "fix_libtool_files.sh" and then emerge glibc. Do the revdep-rebuild thing or just re-emerge the world; emerge -pev world
Once gcc-4 is installed you can use software raid in a kernel past 2.6.17.
Other minor glitches I have encountered are some ebuilds missing the "ppc64" or "~ppc64" keyword. The following ebuilds I have had to put in an overlay directory and add "~ppc64" keyword to them.
dev-perl/Crypt-PasswdMD5
dev-perl/Date-Pcalc
dev-perl/ExtUtils-XSBuilder
sys-auth/pam_krb5
www-apps/otrs
www-misc/libapreq2
They compile and seem to work without a problem. /shrug |

Please report packages that need keywords in Bugzilla. Devs only keyword what they use, or what they're asked to test and mark. :)

| Which is better/preferred... bug report for each package or single bug report with multiple packages? |

I usually prefer a single bug for each package unless they're depending on eachother. This lets the Arch testers test each package individually (or together if required).
Thanks!
