Re: [gentoo-dev] GCC-3.1/KDE 3.0.1

[Lars Pechan <lars.pechan@paradise.net.nz>]

Hello,
I now have only one gcc (as built by gcc-3.1r4) and no outstanding patches. I 
did an emerge unmerge on gcc-3.1r1 since that was reported as installed by 
qpkg. Didn't make any major changes however...

Interesting about portage and 2.95.3/3.0.4 as I've built a decent chunk of my 
new system using 3.1 only and haven't had any sandbox-related problems 
(yet??).

The htdig ebuild is indeed crapping out because of gcc-3.1 complaining about 
using a deprecated header (iostream.h, fstream.h etc instead of iostream, 
fstream). The following is a workaround that will build it with gcc-3.1:

CPPFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated emerge htdig

There's still lots of noise during compilation about the same issue.  Adding 
the same flag to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS will get rid of it.

On the fam-oss problem  I've sent a mail to the maintainer at SGI. For anyone 
interested this is the error message:

c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../include 
-DCONFIG_ETC_CONFIG_PATH=\"/etc/fam.conf\"    -Wno-deprecated -c 
Scheduler.c++
Scheduler.c++:37: uninitialized const member `Scheduler::IOTypeInfo::iotype'
Scheduler.c++:38: uninitialized const member `Scheduler::IOTypeInfo::iotype'
make[2]: *** [Scheduler.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/fam-oss-2.6.7/work/fam-2.6.7/fam'

I shall kick off the next stage now and see what nastities we may have bumped 
into in the morning...
