Koffice 1.2beta2 & ImageMagick

[bakgwailo]

I am using portage 2.04, and nether will compile/merge.

ImageMagick:
>>> emerge media-gfx/imagemagick-5.4.6 to /
!!! No message digest file found. /usr/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/files/digest-imagemagick-5.4.6
!!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate a digest.
!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/imagemagick-5.4.6.ebuild .

I would type that, but I do not have the ebuild command (where do I get this? I have been looking for what package its in). Koffice on the other hand just doesn't compile. It starts, but about 5-10 minutes into it, it dies out. thanks!

since you su'ed to root, there is not /sbin or /usr/sbin in your PATH variable

/usr/sbin/ebuild /usr/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/blah_blah.ebuild digest

will work just fine

Thanks Proxy! I got everything to upgrade, except koffice still does not install and errors out with the message:

cpp0: output pipe has been closed

Obviously it compiles (since its on make install), but I have no clue why make install of all things would error out. Any one else having this problem, or have a solution? Thanks !

I had the same problem with the install portion. Here's how I fixed it...

Manually run the g++ command (right above the error you got) but take out the -pipe -fomit-framepointer and knock your optomisation down to -O2. It should compile at that level. Then run ebuild "ebuild file" install.

This should complete after some time. You then need to run ebuild "ebuild file" qmerge to finish the installation off.

This looks like a code generation bug either as part of koffice's coding practices or gcc. I suspect a combination of -O3 and -fomit-framepointer caused gcc to barf with:

Hi Jesse,
I'm running into the same problem as you described....can you explain to me in little steps how you managed to install koffice afterall?
I'm a little lost with your previous description...

ok this is gona be hard since it was over a week ago that i did this...

Emerge fails because g++ fails to compile that certain file. Right above those errors, on your console, you should see the actual g++ ... command used to compile that file. There are 2 ways to get around this. An easy one and a hard one. I'll give you the hard one first since by using it you wont have to recompile the rest of koffice which takes forever...

What you need to do is (hard way):
1) First copy that g++ command in its entirity
2) cd to the directory with that problem file in it (something like /var/tmp/portage/koffice-1.2_beta2/work/koffice-1.2-beta2/ ... )
3) Paste that g++ command that you copied _but_ take out all your optimization settings except for maybe -O2
4) Run the command. It should finish to completion without any errors.
5) cd to your /usr/portage/app-office/koffice/ directory and run "ebuild koffice-1.2_beta2.ebuild install qmerge"

OR

(easy way):
1) Edit your make.conf compiler flags and take out -fomit-frame-pointer and -pipe. Also make sure your -O setting is no higher than -O2
2) Completly recompile all of koffice using an "emerge koffice"
3) Edit you make.conf compiler flags to the way they were before you changed them

It seems that a few files in the latest koffice give g++ quite some trouble when using high optimization levels.
The culprit is most likely -O3 so taking out -fomit-frame-pointer and -pipe may not even be needed ...

Hi Jesse,

Thanx for this step for step reply....i'll give it a swing.....let you know how things go
