Description amdfanatyk 2006-04-18 21:43:21 UTC 
Version:           1.4beta3, 1.3.9, probably earlier too (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          GCC 4.1.0 built from source
OS:                Linux

it's very strange but amaroK 1.4beta3/1.3.9 copiled by GCC 4.1.0 doesn't work properly; building collection doesn't work while the same source on the same os compiled by GCC 4.0.2 works correctly.

1.4beta3

Seems to be an sqlite problem. Does it work with MySQL/PostgreSQL?
Comment 3 amdfanatyk 2006-04-19 18:01:10 UTC 
as i mentioned it depends on compiler, sqlite is always 3.1.2; looks like gcc 4.1.0 miscompile amarok.
Comment 4 Mark Kretschmann 2006-04-19 18:21:27 UTC 
More likely: Your TagLib was built with a different GCC version. So rebuild it.
Comment 5 amdfanatyk 2006-04-19 21:09:32 UTC 
unfortunately it didn't help.
Comment 6 Mark Kretschmann 2006-04-19 21:48:09 UTC 
OK, so I'm reopening it. I still don't believe that GCC 4.1 miscompiles amaroK, though.
Comment 7 amdfanatyk 2006-04-19 22:03:55 UTC 
it may be strange and probably You won't believe until You compile it using 4.1.
Comment 8 Alexandre Oliveira 2006-04-20 02:15:12 UTC 
Test this with MySQL or PostgreSQL, as requested.

still doesn't work.
Comment 11 Mark Kretschmann 2006-04-30 14:34:44 UTC 
Alright, we've tested it:

15:21 < leinir> That's balls
15:22 < leinir> i am using GCC 4.1, and it works here
Comment 12 amdfanatyk 2006-05-12 18:25:10 UTC 
there is one rule - if u want claim that software works good it must work for everybody, if it doesn't work at least for one person it is buggy and its your problem you cannot reproduce that bug on your own and fix it.
Comment 13 Shane King 2006-05-16 23:19:43 UTC 
Well, since nobody here (as far as I know) wrote gcc, it's not anyone here's job to fix your installation of it. Go off and ask the gcc devs why their product can't compile amaroK for you when it does for other people if you believe someone owes you a fix.
Comment 14 amdfanatyk 2006-05-17 17:20:58 UTC 
man i can build amarok using gcc 4.1.0, i cannot build collection datebase, is it so hard to uderstand that?
Comment 15 Martin Aumueller 2006-05-17 17:39:20 UTC 
Is it so hard to understand that the assumption from our side is that gcc 4.1.0 has bugs which lead to amarok not working as it was programmed?
Comment 16 amdfanatyk 2006-05-17 18:15:14 UTC 
gcc bug is unlikely reason for mentioned malfunction; frequently old source code doesn't work with new compiler (for instance older kernels won't compile or won't work correctly with newest gcc), so it would be a good idea to look for a bug in amarok not in gcc.
Comment 17 Shane King 2006-05-17 23:51:05 UTC 
That is true, but the bug was closed because other people reported it to work. Therefore either the people who reported it working are lying, or you have some local problem with your installation that we can't help you with. Sorry.
