Hi all, |
| 2 |

What do you all think of adding a 'gcc3' USE flag. This could be used |
| 4 |
to activate special patches/flags that are only required on GCC 3.0 (and |
| 5 |
above), and possibly break compilation by 2.95.3 if used. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
More and more as I look at things, its getting necessary to know which |
| 8 |
compiler will be building a package. The example I can think of off the |
| 9 |
top of my head, is that I'm creating an ebuild file for openoffice 641c |
| 10 |
(currently only 641b is in the archive). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Openoffice has a configure flag, called --enable-gcc3, for when |
| 13 |
compiling with the 3.0.x compiler suite. Openoffice has moved to 3.0.x |
| 14 |
for their linux builds as of 641c (641b I believe they still used |
| 15 |
2.95.x). I'm not even sure if it still compiles on 2.95.x, but it |
| 16 |
should, however I would love to be able to give the option to compile |
| 17 |
with either, and just set the flag if its gcc 3.0.x. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I could figure out the compiler version by doing: |
| 20 |
GCC_MAJOR=`gcc --version | cut -f1 -d.` |
| 21 |
and then |
| 22 |
local myflags |
| 23 |
if [ $GCC_MAJOR == 3 ]; then |
| 24 |
myflags="--enable-gcc3" |
| 25 |
fi |
| 26 |
then simply add $myflags to the configure options. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
however the above seems like (and is) a hack. Plus, when patches start |
| 29 |
being made to fix code that wont compile on gcc 3.0.x (see my previous |
| 30 |
email), we're going to NEED to know the gcc version in use. Hense, I |
| 31 |
would suggest a gcc3 use flag. That, or there could be a default |
| 32 |
veriable offered by portage which contains the GCC version (now THAT |
| 33 |
would be cool, but not expected). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Anyway, |
| 36 |
