Group: v1.40.0 Status: Open Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Frank Küster (frank) Assigned to: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Summary: Build failure on alpha-linux with certain gcc versions

Initial Comment: pdftex fails to build on Linux-alpha with newer gcc versions. This is a known bug in gcc, but it's very obscure and it seems unlikely to be solved soon. Therefore you might consider to apply the patch below as a workaround.

Since I don't know how fix it in gcc and nobody else seems to be working on that, I suggest you apply the following workaround: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Frank Küster (frank) Date: 2007-04-16 12:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3360 forgot to tick the "attach file" box ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=775&group_id=106
