Bugzilla Bug 23663

trying to emerge noweb fails, in the build process, it seems to use itself to
generate its documentation. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:


Actual Results:  
make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent make rule.
noweb -t roff.nw
make[1]: noweb: Command not found
make[1]: *** [tmac.w] Error 127

....
make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent make rule.
notangle -Rtotex totex.nw > totex
/bin/sh: line 1: notangle: command not found
make[1]: *** [totex] Error 127

Brw, noweb-2.9-r2 does build properly, this bug is only for 2.9-r3
and r3 is buidable if r2 is installed. So its only for the case where r3 is installed when no previous noweb installation was there.

Same problem here. 
In the FAQ it says that this could be the result of false timestamps!
A resolution should be, to download the source again from a different server and try again. I did so, but still the same error :-(

Btw, I need noweb as it is required for LyX!!! Please solve this problem!

Ran into this as well, and it seems to be caused by those timestamps. My guess
is one of the patches touches a .nw file, so make wants to rebuild the .c file
from that. A solution would be to do "make touch" (documented in the noweb faq)
right after applying the two patches. 
Since I don't know a thing about ebuilds, I can't modify the ebuild. However,
I've tested this by suspending the ebuild (ctrl+z) right after the patching,
doing a manual "make touch" in the work directory, and resuming the ebuild
(fg). This seemed to work ;)
Now all we need is for someone to verify this is the correct solution, and add
a "make touch" to the ebuild somewhere, I think.

Patched noweb ebuild with the touch fix

This ebuild implements the "make touch" fix discussed in the bug.  It fixes the
compile problem until there is a cleaner soulution, possibly in the noweb
makefile itself.

(From update of attachment 14523 [edit])
Sorry - bugzilla's attach script threw an ugly error, so I accidentally
submitted twice.

Comitting a fix to the tree now.

I don't consider this bug fixed, because the fix is not in the portage tree.
When I sync, I get version 1.5 of the 2.9-r3 ebuild, which has

        find -type f | xargs touch

in source_unpack(). This doesn't work for me. It only works if I replace the
above line with

        make touch

Bye...
