I don't have it merged here, but your net search apparently didn't include |
| 17 |
a Gentoo bug search. Note that google (and presumably other websearch |
| 18 |
engines) doesn't know how to index bugzilla pages very well, so you have |
| 19 |
to search them separately. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Anyway, a quick search from http://bugs.gentoo.org on "ALL tclx", then |
| 22 |
skipping to the bottom of the list since the bugs are in numerical order |
| 23 |
and we are interested in something fairly new, yields a number of dups of |
| 24 |
this bug: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133099 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It doesn't say what I was looking for directly, but it mentions related |
| 29 |
emacspeak bug |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148854 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
which mentions (as you suspected) that the problem is a gcc-4.1 |
| 34 |
incompatibility. There's tclx-8.4-r1 in the tree as ~amd64 and already |
| 35 |
x86 stable, which compiles with gcc-4.1. However, certain packages that |
| 36 |
depend on tclx apparently don't have a stable version in portage that can |
| 37 |
handle tclx-8.4, so all those packages pretty much need to stabilize |
| 38 |
together, and if one or more of them have other amd64 issues... |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
So, bottom line, tclx-8.4-r1 is currently keyworded ~amd64. It works with |
| 41 |
gcc-4.1, but since some stable versions of packages that depend on tclx |
| 42 |
aren't 8.4 compatible, be prepared to package.keyword any of them too, in |
| 43 |
ordered to get them working again after upgrading tclx. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Or simply wait until everything is stabilized, staying with your gcc-3.4 |
| 46 |
built version until then. The choice is yours. =8^) |
