gcc with gcj (for pdftk and impressive)

[tsymiroro]

I want to install app-text/pdftk and app-office/impressive.

 

They need a gcc compiled with gcj use-flag.

 

This is an issue in the bug tracker

https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-970

 

My question is:

how to install gcc-4.6.2-r1?

 

I think that it is possible to install these ebuild.

If not that they do in the portage tree?

 

# emerge -av pdftk impressive

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild  N     ] app-office/impressive-0.10.5  PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" 0 kB

Total: 3 packages (2 new, 1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 0 kB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

Consider using mcpdf instead of pdftk. The reason is explained in the bug link you posted.

[tsymiroro]

pdftk is needed by app-office/impressive.

mcpdf can not really replace pdftk in this case.

 

The error message tell "install a gcc with gcj" (4.6 in new slot), but it fail when I want to do this.

 

My qyestion is how to install gcc-4.6.2-r1?

 

After installing app-text/mcpdf I have

 

# emerge -av impressive

NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes,
paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.

Well... as I noticed, that's fixed. I have mcpdf installed, and when I want to install impressive, Portage doesn't claim. So I assume that issue is fixed.
