Just to clarify: When we added devtoolset scl to epel7, the rule was
that it was only to be used for build time, never runtime.

I don't see a big problem doing the same for rhel6, but there hasn't
been any demand for it yet.

If it's strictly build time, I don't see that users would see any
complications from it.

That's ok.  I've gone with Kevin Kofler's suggestion and just fixed the
build to work with the old version of GCC.

Thanks, all, for the help!

I don't believe devtoolset was enabled for el6 in koji.
When it was added to the mock configs for el6/el7, the
consensus on the epel list was that it would be added to el6
if there was sufficient demand.  I've only seen it come up
once (or maybe twice) since then on the epel list.

I'm not familiar enough with the koji commands to confirm
it.  I can see that rhel7-server-rhscl-7 is listed in the
external repos, but I don't see a similar rhel6 SCL.

Apologies if I simply missed an announcement on the epel
lists and am passing on outdated data.


I believe Todd is correct. At the time there was the package needing 
SCL's was chromium and the owner had no interest for making the 
package in EL6. If zchunk needs it, we can put it in.


SeaMonkey as well. +1

Many years Firefox and Seamonkey are compelled to do extra builds of 
gcc-4.8 and python-2.7 at the beginning of the package compiling. And to 
provide an extra sources (gcc and pythin tarballs) in the srpms for this.


It seems that Firefox (part of RHEL packages set) uses SCL now, but 
Seamonkey (former Mozilla/Netscape) still cannot use it.

The SCL's have their uses, but for EPEL? I think they'd add
unnecessary complexity on an an unreliable developer codebase and be a
really bad idea to rely on for EPEL componenents. RHEL 6 is at release
6.10, and should be treated as end-of-life. If the component were
being embedded into the SCL, then it might make some sense to support.
But as best I can tell zchunk has nothing to do with the SCL except
for the gcc requirement.

IMHO, zck_private.h should #include "zck.h" and only define itself whatever 
is not defined in the public header.

If devtoolset is available for EPEL6 (which I think it is?), you can
simply use it by doing the following:

Insert into BRs:
BuildRequires: devtoolset-7-toolchain

Then add to top of %build:
source /opt/rh/devtoolset-7/enable

How about this:
   #ifndef zckCtx_DEFINED  /*{ workaround for gcc-4.4.7 */
   #define zckCtx_DEFINED 1  /* gcc-4.4.7 demands only one declaration of a 
typedef */
   typedef struct zckCtx zckCtx;
   #endif  /*}*/
and similarly for the other 8 "multiply-defined" typedefs?  After 
pre-processing,
then the compiler will see exactly one definition of the typedef.

Sorry, I should have shared that the first time around.

The version of gcc that comes with EL6 is 4.4.7.

When building zchunk, I get a number of messages that look like:
$ ninja-build

For reference, you can find zck.h.in (which gets processed into zck.h
with the version added) at:
https://github.com/zchunk/zchunk/blob/master/include/zck.h.in

and zck_private.h at:
https://github.com/zchunk/zchunk/blob/master/src/lib/zck_private.h

As far as I can see, gcc-4.7 doesn't like that I'm typedefing the same
struct to the same type twice.  Later versions don't see it as a
problem at all.

(Just to be clear, this still happens if I change zck_private.h to say:
typedef struct zckCtx zckCtx;)
