Fix the broken GIMP ebuild, please

helmers · Last edited by helmers on Sun Nov 10, 2002 1:11 pm; edited 1 time in total

I've finally gotten GIMP 1.3 to emerge gracefully, after going down from -march=athlon-xp to -march=i686. Setting the -O2 instead of -O4 had no effect, without changing the -march.

The result when emerging with to much optimization is that every image is not showing. It's just a transparant rectangle.

Could someone please fix this ebuild so it enforces whatever flags may be needed?

Yup, I'm very sure. I've seen other ebuilds force compiler flags (BitchX springs to mind), and since I compiled The GIMP 1.3.10 four times before getting it right, I'd say it's a problem.

What I hope is that it's easely fixed, so that everybody can enjoy the GTK2 GIMP version. :wink:

I have compiled gimp-1.3.10 using my make.conf flags "march=ahtlon-xp -O2 -pipe" (very safe, but I don't want segsfaults because of stupid flags).

Transparant rectangle sounds familiar, I had to set the opacity level in the layer window and then the picture was displayed in gimp-1.3.9. It's the same in gimp-1.3.10, but this ain't an ebuild related error but an gimp error.

Compiling gimp using i686 should fixes this??? seems very strange....

But if so, then it could be an mmx c.q. sse problem.

Search google / checked the gimp bugs page and it states that there are problems with mmx and pictures not using alpha-blending. So maybe the -mno-mmx option should be added to the flags, haven't tried it and will do so later, maybe a bug report is in order,.....

Maybe the next release will fix this bug,.....

Do the developers know of the bug over at bugs?

First have to figure out if it is a bug, just compiled with -mno-mmx but it didn't fix anything (need to set opacity level by hand), will try i686 later, but not now,

It ain't a bug in the ebuild, is it? seems more like a bug with gimp, so I don't know if we need to post it.

tried march=i686 and now the images are shown (opacity level is not default 0 for none alpha-rgb images), but not in the preview window when you open a file.

Hmm, I don't think we're talking about the same thing. :wink:

Since I got GIMP working, I'd rather not re-emerge it with higher optimizations. But I am pretty sure that it was not a problem with transparacy when I couldn't see the image. I also got an error about something being out of bounds. Could someone with a lot of optimizations try this? Other than not seeing or being able to draw anything, :!:

The GIMP menus and preferences was working fine.

You can just use the following instead of change your use flags:

inherit flag-o-matic
replace -O3 -O2
