Description Luca Pizzamiglio 2013-02-06 15:55:05 UTC
When I build Amarok on i386 I get a compile error:
/usr/ports/audio/amarok-kde4/work/amarok-2.7.0/src/playlistgenerator/constraints/PlaylistFileSize.cpp:175:
error: integer constant is too large for 'long' type

A 64bit integer number is used without the LL suffix

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile using a FreeBSD on i386
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Adding the right suffix, the problem is solved.

Very strange, why did none of the distributions report that? Apparently it does build on Linux i386 systems without problems.

I guess, it's related with the old gcc version (4.2.x)  FreeBSD still uses and some automatic conversion that a newer gcc adopts.

Right, then I would suggest to update the Gcc version instead of asking Amarok to be compliant with outdated compilers, current is 4.7.2, your version was released over 5 years ago.

I cannot explain here all related question about what you've written, but:
* FreeBSD 8 & 9 has, as default compiler, gcc 4.2.1 because newer gcc adopts GPLv3, incompatible with the BSD license.
* FreeBSD 9 and Current (10) is moving to another compiler, clang. No problem raised with it.
* The change I'm proposing is covered by the C99 standard, so perfectly compliant with almost every new compilers. It's a minimal modification, just add the ULL or LL suffix to a number, to specify that it's a 64 bit integer. In my personal opinion, it improves readability and compatibility.
* we use, when we find a problem, to propose a patch to be integrated in the mainline, when this patch contributes to compatibility without damage the original source code (that's the case)
