The CFLAGS issue that you spotted fixes building against rawhide on ppc64. However, it doesn't fix building against F10: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1208914 So, I can either lean towards rawhide here or F10. Disabling the ppc64 build will make both work, but there'll be no ppc64 in rawhide. Once it's in CVS, I can enable the ppc64 build for rawhide. Does that sound like a sensible strategy? > b) Remove all the hack entirely and live with the warnings brp-strip issues > However, you seem to be lucky, this seems possible in this case, because > brp-strip etc. (at least on Fedora 10) are broken enough not to try corrupting > your target's files. Unfortunately this doesn't work. The brp-strip stuff does touch the libgcc.a file, resulting in an unusable compiler. I had a look at hacking the brp-strip scripts up more, but I can't see the problem with them. The output of: rpm -ql msp430-gcc | while read f; do file $f | grep ELF | grep -v stripped; done All the host binaries are stripped successfully when the brp-strip hacking is in place. I've added your suggestions for the setup macro (I can't believe that one has to read the RPM source to find out what those %setup parameters mean. Terrible!) and moved the man pages. > Finally, I guess you know that gcc-3.2.3 is dead and discontinued for ca. > 5 years - Not actually something I would want to maintain ;-) Unfortunately, this is the situation with mspgcc. Most of the mspgcc development is focussed on 3.2.3. Yes, this is a pain. However, hopefully packaging it up and making it available in a major distribution will help to breathe life into the project. Once people start using it, I think they'll begin to appreciate why using those non-free compilers is an inferior option. As I'm sure you're aware, it's mighty difficult to get started on GCC hacking. I don't really see how we can get out of this situation until that changes :-/ New files: Spec file: http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/rds/rpm/mspgcc/msp430-gcc.spec SRPM: http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/rds/rpm/mspgcc/msp430-gcc-3.2.3-2.20090210cvs.fc10.src.rpm Rob -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
