26149 2003-08-07 12:36 0000 Ebuilds that ignore distcc 2004-03-08 11:41:12 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Server unspecified All Linux CLOSED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 lisa@gentoo.org lisa@gentoo.org iggy@gentoo.org kl@vsen.dk svein.brostigen@oracle.com lisa@gentoo.org 2003-08-07 12:36:25 0000 This is going to be a meta bug that lists all of the ebuilds that ignore distcc (for whatever reason). lisa@gentoo.org 2003-08-07 12:37:26 0000 *** Bug 25677 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** lisa@gentoo.org 2003-08-07 12:38:16 0000 So far, from bug 25677 app-text/openjade-1.3.2-r1 media-libs/gle-3.0.1-r2 x11-misc/xscreensaver-4.11 gnome-base/ORBit-0.5.17 app-arch/zip-2.3-r2 lisa@gentoo.org 2003-08-07 13:54:18 0000 openjade, zip and gle were fixed. They just needed a s/make/emake in src_compile(). ORBit has a note in the ebuild about "-j4 not working" so I won't touch that one. svein.brostigen@oracle.com 2003-08-07 15:49:28 0000 kdemultimedia-3.1.3 is also not using distcc svein.brostigen@oracle.com 2003-08-07 18:15:22 0000 kdepim-3.1.3 is another one. sharkuc@yahoo.com 2003-08-22 07:04:09 0000 x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r2 (maybe other versions as well) As far as I understand this is due to the stripping of unsafe flags by the ebuild: lines 16-36 of xfree-4.3.0-r2.ebuild kl@vsen.dk 2003-08-22 10:20:13 0000 ARGHHH!! compiling XFree and KDE on a PII-233mhz machine.. I'm really bugged that I have to select an older version of XFree to compile it within a day (using distcc) - it's reaaaaaaaly slow going on localhost only :( How are you doing with fixing this xfree ebuild? and what are the flags that make gcc use distcc? I'd like to know - then I could try and fix the ebuild my self (forcing those flags to not be cleared) and see if it still works.. lisa@gentoo.org 2003-08-22 10:24:39 0000 There are comments inside the xfree .ebuild that explain why it fails with parallel builds. Its an upstream Makefile problem, essentially. bjgrzesiak@hotmail.com 2003-08-23 19:42:53 0000 ffmpeg 0.4.7_pre20030624 As far as I could tell (by observing progress through top), this ebuild does not use distcc. bjgrzesiak@hotmail.com 2003-08-23 20:15:59 0000 transcode 0.6.6 Same problem as ffmpeg Is it safe to assume that if an ebuild uses 'make' instead of 'emake', then it won't utilize distcc? Is it also safe to assume (in general with some exceptions) that making the change s/make/emake will fix this? lisa@gentoo.org 2003-08-23 20:32:16 0000 Yeah. If an ebuild doesn't use emake it won't follow MAKEOPTS. Usually its safe to just s/make/make/, but check bugzilla first for parallel build problems, and test it first. Luke.Maurer@alumni.carleton.edu 2003-09-01 18:23:51 0000 Samba also appears to ignore distcc. The ebuild does indeed use make instead of emake, and I couldn't find any bugs about parallel-building samba ... in a bit, I'll get a chance to try the ol' s/make/emake. Luke.Maurer@alumni.carleton.edu 2003-09-03 20:19:16 0000 Yep ... I just changed all the makes to emakes (5 in total) in the .ebuild, and it compiled happily. Rob_Davies@NTLworld.com 2003-09-24 07:19:47 0000 Where ebuilds have an issue with parallel builds, it would be better handled by removing the -j option in MAKEOPTS (or setting -j1), rather than disabling distcc entirely avoiding emake. distcc can be useful for passing compiles off to a faster host from an old machine, used say as a firewall. The alternative, building binary packages elsewhere is much less convenient (temporary USE & CFLAG changes on build machine). svein.brostigen@oracle.com 2003-10-01 15:22:40 0000 unixODBC also ignores distcc svein.brostigen@oracle.com 2003-10-30 17:40:47 0000 openldap alos ignores distcc. svein.brostigen@oracle.com 2003-10-30 17:48:16 0000 glib also ignores distcc Dirus@programmer.net 2003-12-11 13:47:01 0000 perl-tk seems to ignore distcc, it inherits from perl-module which uses make not emake. Will fixing /usr/portage/eclass/perl-module.eclass break other perl things? Dirus@programmer.net 2003-12-11 13:55:52 0000 media-tv/mythtv and media-tv/mythfrontend also ignore distcc rick@hartmantech.com 2004-01-06 13:05:27 0000 openssl seems to ignore distcc jadamcze@utas.edu.au 2004-02-11 17:41:45 0000 x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4 seems to work with s/make/emake and MAKEOPTS="-j7" lisa@gentoo.org 2004-03-04 19:14:36 0000 I think this can be closed. Some of these KDE things I have no chance to install since I don't have unlimited disk space to install KDE. Refile any existing problems and assign them to the proper folk, cc me. lisa@gentoo.org 2004-03-04 19:15:00 0000 see comment 22 jmcadavid@comcast.net 2004-03-08 11:41:12 0000 Open Office actually ignores distcc when building from source. It took me 8 hours to compile. I looked at the activity on my distcc helper and there was no activity from distcc at all.
