gcc has been updated to 4.8.5 on the p8-suse12-rpm builder

u0013565@sys-93188:~> gcc --version

gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.8.5

Let me know if there are other tasks to do or if this can be closed.

Thanks.

I don't think so but lets wait until a 10.3 branch builds with 4.8.5 first. Thanks dbart

Passes compile ok : http://buildbot.askmonty.org/buildbot/builders/p8-suse12-rpm/builds/4787 - mtr not finished.

Looked though configure stage to see what's missing (Judy - doesn't exist as SUSE package), libnuma (was getting removed in 10.3 i thought), few compression things in connector C (which don't seem used).

So seems ok AFAIK.

Thanks again.

maybe cmake-3.7+ so there is Debug RPM packages like MDEV-4646. Minor only as the repo isn't advertised.

ccache, and -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache (cmake-3.5+?) or add ccache to -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="ccache gcc" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="ccache g++" (might need full paths) for older CMake versions. Not sure how much success you've had with ccache, setting environment CCACHE_DIR per major branch probably will help.

dbart, is it intentional that there are no tests run on the platform?

marko I think tests were supposed to be added, but they never were. I remember the builder being set up in a hurry, so tests were probably skipped initially in favor of getting the basic builder in place. I'm sure tests were meant to be added eventually, but they never were.
