Description
Hi guys,
Good job on the alpha! The release notes say that it is a hybrid build and can run gcc2 or gcc4 apps but I haven't been able to run the optional packages compiled on gcc4. Specifically BeZillaMail-2.0.0.21pre-haiku-gcc4-x86-09-03-01.zip gives the following terminal output:
runtime_loader: /boot/apps/BeZillaMail/BeZillaMail: Could not resolve symbol '_ZN5BView15_ReservedView11Ev' resolve symbol "_ZN5BView15_ReservedView11Ev" returned: -2147478780 runtime_loader: /boot/apps/BeZillaMail/BeZillaMail: Troubles relocating: Symbol not found
That looks to me like it's trying to link to the wrong libraries? I also tried a gnash binary and had the same problem. Do I need to do anything my end to get these to work (I thought the runtime loader did some magic) or is it a bug?

The GCC4 compatibility kludges for intermediate GCC4 packages have been removed from the alpha branch. The alpha is not supposed to be compatible with packages compiled for previous versions. If you upgrade to trunk, I think those kludges should still be there.

Ah right, thanks for clearing that up. The "Welcome" document lists OptionalPackages as the first link for getting software, so there at least should be a note put up there about which packages will work. Even better if they were rebuilt to work on the alpha, of course.

Replying to tangobravo:

That's unfortunately, since the OptionalPackages isn't a software distribution website the way people would expect.
I suspect we will continue to host old and incompatible packages there for testing purposes (building an old revision of Haiku will still link to those old packages for example).
It wasn't really meant to be a place people went to found software, only a "repository" where people could dump stuff that the build system can then pull from.
I recommend we remove it from the Welcome page.
Was this package recompiled for the alpha ? I think some symbols have been added just before we branched for the alpha.
