Bug 102426 – dev-libs/icu-3.2 fails if MAKEOPTS != "-j1"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2005-08-13 13:50:00 UTC]

emergeing dev-libs/icu-3.2 failed on 3 of my machines with some job-server 
errors. After setting MAKEOPTS="-j1" it worked. 
 
Looks like some broken Makefile dependencies. 
 
So please set either MAKEOPTS="-j1" or use "make" instead of "emake" in the 
ebuild. This solves the problem. 
 
thanks.

emerging app-shells/bash-3.0-r12 failed on my machine (within an "emerge
--update --deep --newuse world") and on the machine of the gentleman posting
here:

Changing to "MAKEOPTS=-j1" allows the emerge to succeed.

app-shells/bash-3.0-r12 also fixed in CVS.

The bug has reappeared in the app-shells/bash-3.2_p17-r1 ebuild.

+       emake -j1 || die "make failed"  # see bug 102426

(1) not a toolchain bug
(2) this bug is not about bash at all, only icu
(3) if bash is a problem for you, open a real bug with real information
