Bugzilla Bug 112129

media-gfx/gthumb/gthumb-2.6.7 emerges fine once flag is added.

N.B.  2.6.8 does not.  Haven't tracked things down well on that yet.  Just get
gthumb started.

Neither 2.6.7 nor 2.6.8 emerge for me.  What flag are you referring to?

Sorry, was too tired when I submitted this and made lots of mistakes.  Oh well.

Mark gthumb-2.6.7 as ~ppc64.

Then get:

[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/gthumb-2.6.7  -debug -gphoto2 +jpeg +png +tiff 0 kB 

Emerges and runs fine as far as I can see.  emerge info as before.

O.k.  Having done some more research, I've discovered the following:

gthumb-2.6.7 won't emerge if nautilus is already emerged.

So either need to mark nautilus as forbidden or set it up so that nautilus is
unemerged, then gthumb emerged and then nautilus restored, assuming nautilus was
previously emerged.

O.k.  it looks as though parallel makes may well be the problem.  Compiling
with
-j1 looks like it fixes the problem.  Cf #78843, although the fix there doesn't
appear to fix it here.

O.k.  Sorry for the rather odd summary line but this has shifted.

There is a bug in current versions of gthumb 2.6.x.  Fix is to change
components/catalog-view/Makefile.am as follows:

From:
GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server.in: GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server.in.in Makefile
        sed -e "s|\@LIBEXECDIR\@|$(libexecdir)|g" \
        < $(srcdir)/GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server.in.in > temp \
        && mv temp GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server.in

To:
GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server.in: GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server.in.in Makefile
        sed -e "s|\@LIBEXECDIR\@|$(libexecdir)|g" \
        < $(srcdir)/GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server.in.in > temp.server \
        && mv temp.server GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server.in


This then lets it compile on SMP machines.  I think it also supercedes fix for 
bug #78843.  I think this is the proper fix rather than masking the error.

This fix has been merged upstream in CVS.

This should let it compile consistently on ppc64.  Without it it is clear that
compile should fail at times on SMP.

Created an attachment (id=72943) [details]
Patch to fix broken Makefile.am that breaks parallel builds.

Should be stored in files directory.  

Created an attachment (id=72944) [details]
Change to ebuild to use patch that fixes parallel makes.

Used in conjunction eith components-cv.patch

Created an attachment (id=73036) [details]
Corrected version of change to ebuild to use patch that fixes parallel makes.

Somehow patch to ebuild lost it's first line.  This is a corrected version.

backported a similar patch into 2.6.8-r1.  ppc64 team, please test and keyword,
thanks!

added ~ppc64

stable. closing
