[gentoo-user] Anyone using sys-devel/gcc-4.4.1

[Dale]

Hi,

I'm thinking about upgrading to gcc-4.4 and was wondering if anyone here
is using it and if they are having any problems with it.  I'm using a
desktop system with KDE and OOo as the biggest packages.  No servers or
anything to worry about like apache.  Also using 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 for my
kernel.

If you are using this with no problems, please let me know that and
whether you have a similar setup.  My last gcc upgrade was no fun.

Thanks.

Dale

Thanks.  What exactly is gcc-porting?  I did a quick search and found a
page on freshmeat but it seemed to be related to MS-DOS or something.

gcc-porting overlay, install via layman. It had some ebuild/package versions 
that were patched to compile with gcc4.4. AFAIK it is not needed anymore.

I saw something about overlay somewhere while I was looking for info.  I
don't do the overlay thing.  Just a plain old tree for me.  Glad to know
it is not needed now.  Whew!

Thanks for the info tho.

Lots of people are using it.  It looks pretty good; here's a bug that 
tracks stuff broken with 4.4:

   http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249226

As you can see, the vast majority of them have been fixed.

It does look pretty good.  Hopefully this will be better than the last
upgrade.  Seamonkey went goofy and I couldn't compile a kernel at all. 
I don't know what happened.

Giving this some more thought before jumping in tho.  ;-) 

Thanks much.

4.4 is slotted, so you can keep 4.3 around until you know everything
works with the newer version, although I removed 4.3 some time ago
because I never needed it.

I'm still on this:

i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2

gcc-4.3 was a bust for me.  Stuff crashing, couldn't compile a kernel
and a few other weird things.  I went back to 4.1 and left 4.3 alone. 

Thanks for the info.  It's compiling right now.  Boy it is big.

I was trying to make Nikos into a girl for a second there.  LOL  I need
to get some sleep. 

It's compiled and I'm about to switch.  It said something about running
fix_libtool_files.sh for the libstdc++.la stuff.  Hmmmm, always
something.  I'm going to do a emerge -e system at a minimum anyway.

You should do fix_libtool_files.sh before the emerge -e system it only
takes a few minutes (even less here) and you are on a safer side.

Yup, it took about three seconds but didn't emerge anything so I guess I
am good to go.  Yeppie!!

P. S.  Dale crosses fingers, toes and anything else that I can cross.  I
hope this goes better than last time.

Thats normal, because it never emerges anything. It only changes
references by patching files.

I'm using ~amd64 with same kernel, KDE4, gcc-4.4.1 and no problems. I'm even
using the "graphite" USE flag & the loop-related cflags. Nothing has blown
up (yet). :)

It has finished the emerge -e system so far.  Not a single failure that
I can see.  Do have to update a config file tho.  ;-)

In case anyone's keeping score, I've been using gcc-4.4 with the 
hardened profile (from the hardened-development overlay, of course) for 
a good while, and the only problems I've run into are hardened related. 
  It has built OOo, Gnome, Gimp, Firefox, Emacs, and even CLISP with no 
apparent problems so far.
