Re: Updates to Mesa in an LTS - How do you get one?

[Mark Shuttleworth]

I think being on an RC, as opposed to a final release, is as awkward for
us as it is for everyone else. It makes all of our updates harder,
because the codebase is unique to us, it's not a release that upstream
cares about. So, in this case, I think it's a perfect candidate for
-proposed, which is turned off by default and turned on for early
warning. We should of course look at the scope and risks. Phil has said
this affects only one driver, which is good. Martin's point about Mesa
being in the middle of a big complex and critical stack is true too. On
balance, careful review, some sample testing, and then -proposed seem
reasonable to me.

Phil, I really appreciate that you have persisted on this. I also
appreciate that we are anal about scary updates to millions of systems.
I have met literally hundreds of people who's grandparents and parents
are running Ubuntu and who would be crushed to have it DOS'd by a bad
update to X, so I respect and support the SRU process to avoid Another
Wiesbaden ;-)

OT help required

[richard]

Hi Guys
Yes I know its OT but this is where the intelligent gurus live, and its
a bit relevant as G95 was removed from the repositories.

I'm attempting to build G95 for this 64bit machine.
To stop G95 being built in a test mode it requires:-
./configure --with-gcc-dir=

I've tried /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-4.3
as well as /usr/bin/gcc

The Makefile is made OK , but running make gives:-

g95spec.c:47:20: error: config.h: No such file or directory
g95spec.c:48:20: error: system.h: No such file or directory
g95spec.c:49:17: error: gcc.h: No such file or directory
g95spec.c:94: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’
before ‘PARAMS’ g95spec.c:96: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or
‘__attribute__’ before ‘PARAMS’ g95spec.c:102: error: array type has
incomplete element type g95spec.c: In function ‘lookup_option’:
g95spec.c:147: error: ‘NULL’ undeclared (first use in this function)
g95spec.c:147: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
g95spec.c:147: error: for each function it appears in.)
g95spec.c:161: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘strcmp’
g95spec.c: In function ‘append_arg’:
g95spec.c:264: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘xmalloc’
g95spec.c:264: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
g95spec.c:272: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘fatal’
g95spec.c: At top level:
g95spec.c:279: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED’
g95spec.c:573: warning: no previous prototype for
‘lang_specific_pre_link’ make[1]: *** [g95-g95spec.o] Error 1


Could someone please point me in the right direction, and any chance of
a AMD64 version of G95 back as a choice of fortran compilers, please,
pretty please.

TIA
