Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo installation: compile fails

2003-12-30 Thread Anarconda
	Yes, I don't have any problems with pentium4 flag. I only had a problem 
compiling xmms-1.2.7 but it's a known problem in forums it isn't related 
with pentium4.

	Of course I read about gcc with pentium4 flag and the bad instructions 
generated for SSE2 but the status of bug #24379 (mentioned in 
/etc/make.conf) is resolved.

	Sorry for my English.

	Regards.

Can you use pentium4? I was avoiding it, because there was somewhere mentioned
in the docs that this doesn' t work. I don' t have the details reight now but
it said you should use pentium3 instead.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo installation: compile fails

2003-12-29 Thread Michael Spohn
Hi,

I tried to install Gentoo from stage 1 2 and 3 foolowing the very good
installation docs but in all cases different programs refuse to compile
with more or less the same error message:

{Standard Input} Assembler messages
{Standard Input} Error: Suffix or operands invalid for `movd'

When starting with stage1 it was gettext that did not compile and IIRC
after stage 3 was ppp that refused to compile with the same error
message.

I downloaded and tried the new gentoo 2004 stages as well but the
problem persists.

Any ideas what goes wrong?

Regards, Michael

What CFLAGS (or CXXFLAGS) have you been using?

Hi Alex,

thats my CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf:

CFLAGS=-O3 -march=pentium4 -mcpu=i686 -funroll-loops -pipe
-fomit-frame-pointer

 Hi Alex,

 thats my CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf:

 CFLAGS=-O3 -march=pentium4 -mcpu=i686 -funroll-loops -pipe
 -fomit-frame-pointer

It seems as if gcc produces assembler code that as does net (yet) 
understand. 

I suggest to switch back to pentium3 for the package that fails; I think you 
won't notice any difference in performance. If it happens to more packages 
in base system, I suggest to compile the whole base system with pentium3.

IMHO P4 optimization makes only sense for applications that really _need_ 
the performance. If it makes too many troubles, the performace gain of less 
than 1% for normal applications isn't worth the time you spend.

Greetings,
Alex

I compiled gentoo for my laptop with

-fomit-frame-pointer

without problems (this was december 20-21).

are you using distcc?? be sure to use the *exact same* gcc version for

I have had Gentoo on my laptop for almost a year now, and have been
using the pentium4 flags. I have not had any problems relating to the
use of those flags.

gcc -v reports...
gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r3, propolice)

When I change my flags to use also pentium4 would this work? Or would I have
to reinstall everything? I would hate that because it took a lot of time to
install it but I would like to take advantage of it also.

I would think that only all new software installed would take advantage
of the different cflags. An when you finally decide to do a 'emerge -u
world' it will use the new cflags also.
