[gentoo-dev] [ANN] CFLAGS Builder

[gentoo-dev] [ANN] CFLAGS Builder

[Robin H.Johnson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1048 bytes --]

Greetings,

Just a quick announcement about a new mini-project to write a little
application to work out the correct stable CFLAGS for your system from
/proc/cpuinfo and a few other sources of information.

Please visit this webpage and fill in the form.
http://gentoo.slinky.surrey.sfu.ca/cflagcollect/

For the moment, I am collecting some information so that the application
will work on ALL systems, including those with unusual configurations. 
For this to work, I would like everybody to go to the webpage, and fill
it in for all of your systems. There is a perl script on the page if you
want to automate the process more. You can run the script as
'./submit.pl EMAILADDRESS'.

If I get enough data, In a week or two I hope to have the initial
testing release of the CFLAGS builder available.

This (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=53602) was posted in the
Gentoo forums a few days ago.  Might help you out - works great for me.

Excellent idea, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to detect dual athlons on this m/c correctly.

Output is :
~ $ ./wflags 
 -march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse -msse -mmmx -m3dnow

 Info in /proc/cpuinfo is correct.
eg model name      : AMD Athlon(TM) MP 1800+

I see that this application also does not include the -mcpu flag. I know
that -march implies the -mcpu flag. Some ebuilds however filter the -march
flag for gcc bugs. For those ebuilds the -mcpu flag still provides the
wanted scheduling

The -mcpu flag is depricated in GCC 3.3 - and should not be used
anymore. So in all fairness it would be best not to record it's usage,
it might mislead some users.

[gentoo-dev] New Ebuild: XOM (A Java XML Library)

[Ian Phillips]

>From the XOM website:

"XOM is a new XML object model. It is an open source (LGPL), tree-based
API for processing XML with Java that strives for correctness and
simplicity."

Now a question: is this the correct place to do send stuff like this? If
not, apologies, I couldn't see an appropriate category in Bugzilla
though.

Cheers,
Ian.

Bugzilla would be the correct place.

Create a new bug (search first!)

Product: Gentoo Linux
Component: Ebuilds
Severity: Enhancement

Preferably include an ebuild as well
