I'm running GCC 6.3.0 on a few machines with almost all other packages |
| 17 |
stable. Only busybox is static on my machines, and it's been rebuilt. |
| 18 |
So far I've run into... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
* games-board/xfreecell needs CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -Wno-narrowing" |
| 21 |
in a custom env to build. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
* x11-wm/icewm segfaults right after startup when built with GCC 6.3.0 |
| 24 |
so I have to build with 5.4.0. /var/log/Xorg.0.log is useless because |
| 25 |
it sees a normal startup and a "normal exit". Other people on the |
| 26 |
Gentoo user forum report no problems with ICEWM under GCC 6.3.0. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The above 2 items happen on an older desktop and netbook (both 32-bit |
| 29 |
Gentoo), and a newer desktop (64-bit Gentoo). I'm partially finished |
| 30 |
re-installing on a "newer" notebook (64-bit Gentoo). Questions... |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
1) Should I be doing bug reports on the Gentoo bugzilla or upstream? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
2) What is the detailed procedure for adjusting symlinks to the 17.0 |
| 35 |
profile? Probably simple enough after you've done it once or twice, |
| 36 |
but I've never had to do it manually before. According to |
| 37 |
