[gentoo-dev] glibc-2.8 / gcc-4.3 build failures
it seems packages are failing when built with glibc-2.8 and/or gcc-4.3. these are issues in the package, not the toolchain. previous versions were lazy and included API bleeding which packages took advantage of. with these newer versions, things bleed less means those packages break. some common examples: - code not including limits.h yet using defines from it - code using GNU-specific features but not defining _GNU_SOURCE for it - maybe some other stuff please refrain from assigning to toolchain. if you have questions, feel free to ask. -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Mike Frysinger a écrit : please refrain from assigning to toolchain. if you have questions, feel free to ask. (too lazy to look for it, as we already have our hands full with other library breakages) Is there a howto for users/developers when migrating to glibc 2.8? Something other than a ChangeLog (too much detail) or a NEWS file (usually not enough detail) ?

Something other than a ChangeLog (too much detail) or a NEWS file (usually not enough detail) ? not really. write your code to use the write API as documented rather than what happens to work ;). i imagine as the list of packages broken stabilizes, one could glean the common threads, but since you're asking for info that depends on the info, we're chicken pucked at this point in time. -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Please mark build failures as blockers of those. # [tracker] GCC 4.3 porting https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198121 # [TRACKER] ebuilds failing to build against sys-libs/glibc-2.8 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225459 Robert signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
