Build failure in OBS with openSUSE 15.6

Build failure in OBS with openSUSE 15.6

[David Marchand]

Hello Luca,

We have a build failure in the openSUSE 15.6 job in OBS.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:bluca:dpdk/dpdk/openSUSE_Leap_15.6/x86_64

This failure is due to 4a04a346e7f3 ("vhost: simplify use of
pragmas"), which followed dd7fdfff9bc1 ("build: remove support for GCC
< 8 and clang < 7").

The openSUSE 15.6 job still uses
[   39s] C compiler for the host machine: cc (gcc 7.5.0 "cc (SUSE Linux) 7.5.0")

Is it possible to update to a more recent gcc?
Otherwise this test should be dropped.


Thanks.

Hi, that's what Leap 15 ships with, so I've disabled the job since
it's no longer supported.
BTW I believe you have an account? Thomas and Kevin are already listed
as maintainers so they can do these changes too, if you tell me your
username I can add you as well, it's just a click in the repositories
tab to enable/disable builds

Thank you.
Ack, let's sync offlist.

This came up for the DPDK Community Lab a few months ago and we modified
the DPDK OpenSuse Dockerfile to build and use a new version of gcc, per
community request:

-----------

RUN update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cc cc /usr/bin/gcc-14 100

-----------

It runs against our normal practice (test with the core build utilities the
distro ships with) but it was the only way to continue to provide results
for OpenSuse.
