Bug 205217 – app-editors/gedit-2.20.4 fails to install with MAKEOPTS="-j"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xake 2008-01-10 15:45:44 UTC]

This is due to the gedit/Makefile.am using 'install-exec-local' to make a symlink ('ln -s gedit gnome-text-editor'). This makes it possible for make install to try make the symlink before the binary gedit is installed and die horrible if install-exec has not yet installed gedit.
Use 'install-exec-hook' instead and make will wait with 'ln -s' until after 'install-exec' is finished before trying to symlink anything.

Will attach the same patch sent upstream in bug:

Patch against gedit-2.20.4

Fixed upstream. Wait for new version or patch?

Please consider applying this patch to gedit-2.20.4, as I'm experiencing the very same problem. I used a quick and dirty MAKEOPTS="-j1" and the issue disappeared.

Btw, gedit-2.20.4 became stable on x86 6 hours ago and 36 minutes ago on ppc, so expect lots of complains :)
