Do NOT install gcc-4.0.0-1 (if you want to keep compiling seq)

[tanner]

gcc-4.0.0-1 was push to debian unstable (aka sid) today for all platforms.

I have confirmed this on i386 and powerpc.

Do NOT install gcc4 if you want to keep compiling seq from source.

gcc4 (actually g++4) thinks seq is borked and won't compile it.

It will take some time to work through all the errors.

My recommendation is to pin gcc3 so it cannot be upgraded.

$ echo cpp hold | dpkg --set-selections
$ echo g++ hold | dpkg --set-selections
$ echo gcc hold | dpkg --set-selections

Can this the Debian FAQ for more details or this url http://faq.eqenchanters.org/index.php?action=artikel&cat=383683&id=42&artlang=en

This going to be changed anytime soon? Unfortunatly after trying about 7 Linux OSs only Fedora 4 seems to work with my machine right....which has GCC 4. =/

Accepting patches!

I'm on gcc3 until gentoo puts gcc4 stable. If seq doesn't work for me, I fix it. If someone wants to work through the forums for me to fix this, I'm up for it, but it could be frustrating and take awhile. Just post up what problems come up and be prepared for me to ask you to make changes to your local version until it works for you and for me both.

Nicks, if you wish to go that route, I've been told that my Fedora RPMs (compiled on FC3) work on FC4. You may need to install the compat-gcc32 rpms to make that work, I haven't been able to test it yet.

Rpms are at:

Under debian this one-liner patch will get showeq to compile with gcc-4.0.0.

The -big- problem is qt! Go figure. Warnings all over the place. I working with upstream debian dev on these issues.

The resulting bin works as expected. I played about 4 hours using it with no problems.

I have -not- confirmed the patch will still allow showeq to compile under gcc3.

Patch is in sf patch manager:

That's the same change I made to another template class. It works fine under gcc3.

Just following up on this old post that 5.0.0.25 compiles fine under gcc4.

Have you looked at Gentoo (http://www.gentoo.org)? I tried a couple, RH8 and Mandrake, but then tried Gentoo and really liked it. Obviously, ShowEQ works great with it :D
