evas altivec issues

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

I tried to update e17 and its dependencies, I got a problem that seems to be related to altivec, several "vector" keywords aren't recognized, I tried adding

-maltivec -mabi=altivec

to the failing command but I got same ouput, I even tried using gcc-4.2 .

I made a little search but couldn't find anything useful, I remember vector being altivec unit related.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Can anyone on PPC reproduce this?

I'm attaching output from failed install and the Portfile used.

Here's a diff​ for the current version, 0.9.9.062. I can't get it to build either. Different errors on Tiger Intel and Leopard Intel. This needs to be reported to the authors of this software.

I wonder why I was cc'd here, I've never installed nor used evas before. Anything in particular that the OP would like me to look at?

Juan, your email address was probably listed in the $Id$ line at the time due to your mass change in r30224.

I reported my Snow Leopard experience to them in ​bug 498.

I updated evas to 0.9.9.063 in r62933. I have yet to test this on PowerPC, but it builds on Intel on Leopard and Snow Leopard anyway.

Any bump about this?

My PPC system died two days ago so I can't help here.

This is probably a bit late but I installed Macports over the weekend on an iMac G5 and tried to install e17. Installing evas fails when compiling evas_cpu.c, see below: -

  CC     evas_cpu.lo
evas_cpu.c: In function ‘evas_common_cpu_altivec_test’:
evas_cpu.c:68: error: ‘vector’ undeclared (first use in this function)
evas_cpu.c:68: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
evas_cpu.c:68: error: for each function it appears in.)
evas_cpu.c:68: error: syntax error before ‘unsigned’
evas_cpu.c:70: error: ‘zero’ undeclared (first use in this function)
make[6]: *** [evas_cpu.lo] Error 1

make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Previously I used Fink, so I have some idea what I'm doing but as I have only just started using Macports then maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks

Ryan any news on this PPC issue?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The problem appears to remain with evas 1.1.0. Tested on PowerPC G4 with Leopard.
