sawfish-themes error

sawfish-themes need rep-gtk-14+ installed.
My system has rep-gtk-16, as you can see in the attachment. Still, it wont
install the themes.

I also had problems with installing sawfish, rep-gtk complained about
--target=${CHOST} not possible. I removed that line in the ebuild and that
solved this problem. I will see if I can reproduce the error and attach it.

Can you please check that sawfish-1.0.1-r5.ebuild fixes this issue ?

Thank you.

rep-gtk error

I am still stuck with rep-gtk. I am installing in a clean bootstrapped chroot.

This is now a problem with rep-gtk, can you please emerge gmp and librep and
see
if you still get this error ?

emerge gmp
emerge librep

Thanks.

sawfish-1.0.1-r5 error

I had to emerge gmp, librep AND gdk-pixbuf, before I could start with
sawfish-1.0.1-r5. Still some problems here, though.

On my machine I found the error in attachement "sawfish-1.0.1-r5 error" to be
caused by the MAKEOPTS="-j2" setting in /etc/make.globals. The -j2 option allows
make to run two commands simultaneously which causes the sawfish build process
to execute certain libtool calls out of order. Switching this option to -j1
should fix the problem. For a further explanation of the specific calls affected
read below:

By running src/fake-libexec out of order several problems are created. First if
the src/.libs directory isn't created yet fake-libexec fails completely. Second
if the libraries haven't been compiled yet and placed in src/.lib the symlinks
between .lib and .libexec will not be created.

Does the MAKEOPTS change suggested in comment #6 fix the problem for everyone ? 

   -j1 Seems to solve mine (I had the same problem as him).
   Thanks a lot. 

I added a new 1.0.1 revision (r6), with a strict MAKEOPTS="-j1" . I think this
should fix all problems.
