Bugzilla Bug 102606

Parallel make fails for me with MAKEOPTS="-j2"

When I remove MAKEOPTS from /etc/make.conf, emerge completes successfully

Please remove parallel make support from fox-1.4.11 ebuild

Thanks
Jim

I also ran into this problem.  Removing MAKEOPTS from make.conf did not change
the problem for me.  Instead I emerged fox-1.5.4 and that worked.  fox-1.5.4
works on AMD64.  Additionally I had to emerge x11-libs/fox-wrapper-1 and
dev-util/reswrap-3.2.0, both of which were masked on AMD64, and both of which
worked fine.  I suggest these packages be unmasked on AMD64.

I've got problems with fox too.
This is a ~ppc chroot with gcc-4.1 and glibc-2.4-r1. Both fox-1.4.11 (ppc) and
fox-1.5.4 (masked) fail:

However, the Homepage (http://www.fox-toolkit.org/) mentions version 1.6.2 and
backported fixes for gcc-4.1 (thanks to rangerpb for that) 
Could we have a version-bump for that one? I'll go try myself later.

Updated fox-ebuild

I've tested fox-1.6.2 on ppc.
It compiles and installs just fine. Please bump that in portage.
I'll attach a ebuild, which is basically fox-1.5.4.ebuild with updated slots. I
used it to install, seemingly no issues.
However it patches (successfully) the tree with patches marked for 1.5.4, so
maybe a change to the eclass fox.eclass is needed?

At the request of Ryan I tested the ebuild Matti contributed. But when trying
to commit it repoman shows that some older ebuilds aren't modular X ready.

Setting paths:
PORTDIR = "/var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86"
PORTDIR_OVERLAY = ""

RepoMan scours the neighborhood...

Since I have nfc about porting to modular X I'm not about to touch those

Could someone of the xorg team take a look at them please?

Same problem here with fox-1.2.6-r3 as Thomas (comment 6) To put -j1 didn't
solved it.

Unmasqued and merged fox 1.6.14 without problem.

1.4.11 is not even in portage any more. Please, test w/ 1.2.18-r1 and
1.4.34-r1, that's what should go stable (see Bug 145046). Don't expect any
fixes whatsoever for the old fox layout.

Removing x11 CC.  Re-add us if required.

The solution is getting the 'new' fox ebuilds stable. This is bug #145046
If you want working foxes, try 1.6.18

This should be solved by the new fox thingies (gone stable some time ago)
