Does

configure_flags += --with-hcflags="-O"

not work?

Thanks Ian

Hi,

gtk2hs packages currently do not have up-to-date versions in unstable for amd64 because of a very small issue: they attempt to force the usage of gcc-4.1 which will not work with GHC 6.8 on amd64. I have successfully modified the rules file to use gcc-4.2 or 4.3 instead, and compiled my own packages. I have not detected any ill effects while developing with these gtk2hs packages.

There is a comment to the effect that "split-objs" doesn't work on gcc-4.2 -- I've been assured that comment is now out of date.

I propose a minor change:

• # Do not use gcc-4.2 until it works:
• # Use gcc-4.1 until ghc/split-obj/gcc-4.2 work togehter
• configure_flags += --with-hcflags="-O -pgmc gcc-4.1"

• configure_flags += --with-hcflags="-O -pgmc gcc-4.2"

or gcc-4.3.

I would prefer not to NMU this if either of you have the time to make a proper upload. However, if not, I will probably go ahead and do so next week.

This simple change would fix two high priority bugs: #463290, #461422.

From my side, please go ahead. Despite being listed in Uploaders: I don’t consider myself the maintainer, so I’d also just do an NMU.

I don’t think that Liyang HU would object, as he did not in the past.

Greetings, Joachm
