[Bf-committers] Trouble coming up at the horizon: gcc 3.4.0 is out

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 After downloading and installing gcc-3.4.0 at noticed that blender
 (cvs from about 13.00 today ) is no longer compiling...

 As gcc 3.4.0 has (much) improved optimization, it would be nice, if
 this compiler will not hickup...

 Here is the point of no return:

 gcc -pipe -fPIC -funsigned-char -O2 -Wall -DGAMEBLENDER=1 -DUSE_SUMO_SOLID -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/blenkernel -Isource/blender/blenkernel -Isource/blender/blenkernel -Iintern/guardedalloc -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/include -Isource/blender/include -Isource/blender/include -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/blenlib -Isource/blender/blenlib -Isource/blender/blenlib -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/makesdna -Isource/blender/makesdna -Isource/blender/makesdna -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/python -Isource/blender/python -Isource/blender/python -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/render/extern/include -Isource/blender/render/extern/include -Isource/blender/render/extern/include -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/imbuf -Isource/blender/imbuf -Isource/blender/imbuf -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/avi -Isource/blender/avi -Isource/blender/avi -Iintern/iksolver/extern -I/tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/blenloader -Isource/blender/blenloader -Isource/blender/blenloader -c -o /tmp/build/linux2/source/blender/blenkernel/intern/exotic.o source/blender/blenkernel/intern/exotic.c

 scons: building terminated because of errors.

 Furthermore it would be nice, when the SCons would honour the GCC
 environment variable, so one coud set this to "gcc -V 3.3.3" for
 example to compile blender with a still installed older version of
 blender ( better solution would be if the code would compile on gcc
 3.4.0, though )

 Keep hacking!
