today i tried to compile a custom kernel, after i typed make i got this error: Your gcc installation does not support plugins.
i tried checking the software repositories but i didn’t find any packages that could do that.
i read on the bug tracker that people were getting this error back in 2011. so has anything been done about this and how do i enable plugin support?
I do not know which version of which operating system it was in 2011.
But we do not even now what version of openSUSE you have the problem on in 2014.
my suse version is 13.1
the version in the bug tracker from 2011 i was reading about was 11.4

Care to share with us a link to that bug tracker?

well, it’s not actually a bug tracker but rather a mailing list, there was howevera mention of filing out a bug,
http://marc.info/?l=opensuse-factory&m=132182265416946&w=2
and here’s another one, this time from 2003…
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2003-11/msg00304.html
this doesn’t however get me any near a solution to the problem. so does anyone know the packages that provide the header files needed?

Well, what I see in that thread is that the GCC shipped with 11.4 did
not have plugin support. And there was no intention of adding it, at
least for 11.4.
I have no idea if it was added for other releases.

Maybe the actual error messages you get might help someone to track this.
What openSUSE version do you have? What gcc related packages did you
install? Did you choose separate packages, or did you choose a pattern?

i initially didn’t put the assembler error in here because it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with plugin support, but rather with the kernel config, and i wanted to get the plugins running first before fixing that

Manually. Ok, then go into YaST, and select for install at least the
“Base development” pattern, and then the “Linux kernel Development”
pattern. On the “Patterns” tab.

i installed everything from the base development and linux kernel development patterns (except things like compiling over network etc) but still get the same errors 
would the fedora gcc-plugin-devel package work in suse? because without it, i don’t think it’s not gonna go anywhere
the fedora package won’t install 
i will try hacking the rpm to see what i can do about it
any ideas what else can be done about it?

No, installing packages from another distro is potentially dangerous,
and the gcc suplied is the same one use to create the distribution.
Changing versions can make compile of somethings to fail.

Find out if the openSUSE suplied kernel builds, not your custom one.

the kernel supplied by suse builds without errors, so the assembler errors are, as i suspected, due to my custom config,
i have reported a bug in novell’s bugzilla regarding the plugin support, we’ll see how that turns out…

Yep. They should know if they built gcc with plugin support or not and
clarify that point. I do not know about that, I simply use gcc sometimes.

the bug status is “won’t fix”
they said it’s disabled on purpose ,probably for the same stability reasons as i read in the old posts
is it possible to get and install the plugin header files by myself?

Ah… make sense.

Dunno. Out of my scope.
