removing --enable-proc-opt from the configure removes this error.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [12651]) Fixes #2994 by disabling optimize=small for Celeron M processors they have at least 512kB Cache

Use -march=pentium3 for Pentium M and Celeron processors. It's more appropiate than pentium4 since they are both no NetBurst? processors.

More x86 <> x86_32 cleanup

comment:4 Changed 17 years ago by Janne Grunau

(In [12686]) Refs #2994. use -O2 instead off -Os for --enable-small

-Os causes build problems with inlined asm after [12645]. fix overwriting --enable-small with --disable-proc-opt

this is only a temporary fix

comment:5 Changed 17 years ago by knowledgejunkie@…

I've been fighting latest SVN (12834, clean source 'svn export'ed from checkout) to compile at all on a slave machine, which I am trying to upgrade from a pre-12645 build. What I need to know is the correct incantion of flags to get a successful compile on a CeleronD (Prescott?) 2.4GHz CPU, as I don't seem to be able to get a build even without my normal 'enable-proc-opt' flag. This CPU has NetBurst? but (only) 256KB cache, so I'm not sure if I should configure as a pentium4 when running configure.

Compilation error (as with OP):

Due to major instability in this slave backend over the past week I took a closer look and noticed that all SVN upgrades had failed in the past 2 weeks, leaving the system stuck at stable 12477. My Athlon64 master backend and PentiumM laptop both compiled without any problems yesterday. When I delved into things earlier, I worried that my CPU was bad, but then saw this ticket and hope it can be resolved.

Thanks in advance for any advice, Nick Morrott

comment:6 Changed 17 years ago by knowledgejunkie@…

A quick update on my Intel Celeron D CPU issue - with many thanks to Simon Kenyon on the -dev list. (Gentoo safe flags http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Pentium_4_.28Prescott.29_.28Intel.29 recommend CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" for this CPU).

Compiling with "--cpu=prescott --enable-proc-opt" allowed the MythTV core to compile normally. I'll be monitoring for any further instability over the next few days. I note from the output below the use of -O3 instead of -O2 - should this extra optimisation affect anything other than code portability? What additional effect does enabling -proc-opt have?

Sample output from the compilation (the motion_est.c file which broke things earlier):

gcc -c -pipe -march=prescott -w -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -Wno-switch -fomit-frame-pointer -D_REENTRANT -DPIC -fPIC  -DMMX -Di386 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPREFIX=\"/usr\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib\" -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/lib/qt-3.3/mkspecs/default -I. -I.. -I../.. -I../libavutil -I/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include -o motion_est.o motion_est.c

Thanks, Nick

Is this still an issue in current SVN? The ticket is nearly a year old.
