Bugs item #411766, was updated on 2001-03-27 15:32 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100882&aid=411766&group_id=882 Category: None Group: None Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Bill Crawford (billcrawford) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: Check for "fubared" gcc is misguided Initial Comment: It actually breaks compiling altogether, because the old egcs (kgcc) on Red Hat doesn't work with the "-march=k6" switch. The current gcc (from 7.0 updates or from beta/raw hide) actually works very well, and all that the current "configure" script does is screw up. Even more annoying is that you've broken "CC=gcc ./configure ..." too, so I can't override it. I consider this a bug in the current build system for quakeforge. I have a uquake-glx from the "old" tree built with RH gcc-2.96 that works quite happily, so I am fairly sure that the test you have in place is both heavy-handed and in many cases unnecessary. If you must, at least check to see if it the original RH7.0-shipped compiler, rather than completely failing for those of us with more recent versions, please? Sorry to rant, but I actually find RH7.x very usable, I have had no major problems compiling anything, I have working DRI-accelerated 3D graphics, UT and Q3A work, quakeforge (oldtree) works a treat, and I would like to test the current quakeforge with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bill Crawford (billcrawford) Date: 2001-03-30 11:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14762 Can you point me to an example (please) because I really am surprised by this ... I have the old tree built and working fine, giving me quite impressive FPS with my G400. It's one of my test cases :) Has this been reported to Red Hat yet? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bill Currie (taniwha) Date: 2001-03-30 11:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2761 THIS IS NOT A BUG! The disabling of gcc-2.96 was NOT done lightly. It produces broken code for quakeforge and has thus been banned (most noticable in the server). gcc-2.95.4 (even though it's not an official release), available from rh's contrib section, is reported to work well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100882&aid=411766&group_id=882 |
