[Broken again] The new gcc downgrade thread

Neo_The_User · 2009-05-17 22:18:59

It's not a C code error because it works fine on Debian. Same exact code. and downgrading gcc don't work. its all just broken. arch is currently broken and thats that. please fix it so its not broken. because i dont like broken. i like fixed stuff. not broken. i prefer working over broken. tank you (military issue tank)

did you actually try and compile anything? vlc as in the repos (extra) compiles with gcc in testing, i didn't try to compile the kernel because i'm sure it's a waste of time. but maybe a better option for you is to disable testing, because you don't appear to understand what the purpose of that repo is.

Neo_The_User · 2009-05-17 23:10:38

I compile from git not AUR or repos. I always build from git. Btw, drop the attitude. I need testing for development purposes and like the majority of the people in the computing world, can't fix gcc. so im waiting.

edit: i will not switch to stable i will not do anything except sit here and complain about gcc not working until its fixed and I can compile mesa and a kernel FROM GIT

new edit: ok a new version of gmp in the repos today. somebody try and compile a kernel from linus's kernel git tree.

Downgrading worked here. Unfortunately that was the only thing that did. For the last two days I was trying out different combinations of (different versions of) gcc/gcc-libs + gmp + the rest of the toolchain + mplayer: [extra], svn, nogui-svn ...
I got the same bugs that are already reported upstream for some time, so they should be fixed soon.

But I can't agree that Arch is broken - we may have the fastest Firefox in the west :-) It's quite unlike a tank - more like a hovercraft :-D

Edit:
Damn, I thought *I* was being an a$$hole sometimes ...

No i'm just an a$$hole right now because i can't compile anything. you're very nice. don't worry karol

edit: plz some1 test new gmp from testing with gcc in testing and compile a kernel. plz plz plz plz so i cant leave this crappy debian distro!!!

This really needs to go to a bug report.

Quoting this so it is re-read... It would be assumed that someone compiling from git for testing purposes would know how to file a bug report. Give _exact_ steps to replicate your issue, not this vague crap that has appeared so far here.

Also, make sure you have gmp-4.3.1-2 installed. The earlier versions of the 4.3 series had an issues causing SSE2 instructions to be enabled making compiler crashes on (at least) PIII processors.

Also, downgrading just parts of your toolchain is stupid. gcc(-libs), binutils, glibc and to a lesser extent kernel-headers are all inter-related. That is why they are all rebuilt when ever one is updated. Downgrade all or downgrade none. And remember, when down grading gcc-libs to 4.3, any C++ program compiled with gcc-4.4 will likely crash.

Note that compiling the current kernel works fine here. I have not tested it from git.

Allan: just try compiling a kernel from git before I submit a bug report so I can at least say im not the only one. cuz i aint the only hommie up in hee experiencing this shtuff so why not u try first then if u have a problem, then its confirmed. also, be sure to have usb support on in the kernel config along with HID support.

Allan · 2009-05-17 23:50:24

Post your config file somewhere and then we can try replicating exactly what you are doing.

Neo_The_User · 2009-05-18 00:07:33

No problem. just dont try to boot it up. it wont work for anybody else but me. give me a few minutes and i'll post it herei n code brackets

Neo_The_User · 2009-05-18 00:23:01

m'kay do all this without question and tell me it works with the latest versions of everything. if it works, ban me from the forum. if it doesn't work, bow down and say im right.

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

Download this file and save it:

http://neo-technical.wikispaces.com/fil … fig.config

Now open that config file up

now compile it however you want

I usually do all this in /usr/src

Exact line on how i usually do it (all ways break)

cd /usr/src && sudo git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git && cd linux-2.6 && sudo rm -rf .config && sudo wget http://neo-technical.wikispaces.com/file/view/myconfig.config && sudo cp myconfig.config .config && sudo make && sudo make modules install && sudo cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-k7 && sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

^I don't use that exact line but it will reproduce a bug

You will then get 4 errors similar to "drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:144: error: expected expression before '>>' token" about 10 minutes into the compiliation process.

P.S. Don't use that exact config for your kernel after reboot. It will not boot up for you most likely.

edit: WAIT FOR IT TO FULLY COMPILE OTHERWISE I'M NOT PROVEN WRONG

EDIT: JUST COMPILED IT ON DEBIAN! WORKS FINE!

I didn't try your config but what I can say is I'm building kernels from git every single day (+mplayer-svn, xf86-video-intel-git, firefox-hg (1.9.1 branch) with PGO) and they ALL build fine (I'm using [TESTING] by the way). So if something is borked, it's most likely your system, not Arch.

Neo_The_User · 2009-05-18 00:58:43

I built kernels all the time every day too. ...Until a few days ago. If this is fixed, please let me know (as of today) since gmp was JUST updated.

Neo, i just tested your .config and linux-2.6.30-rc6 with the latest toolchain, and compile fine.

Ensure that your system are in consistent state.

Neo_The_User · 2009-05-18 01:39:39

....I think i'll be banned now. Anyway, I am a man of my word. I said the mods should ban me if I was wrong, and I am. Sorry for being such an a-hole.

edit: most likely the new gmp code that was released today. They fixed it. NOW I CAN SWITCH BACK TO ARCH!

Nah, won't ban today. I will kill this thread though...

But I can! Banned for one day as punishment for being wrong...
