Bug 141132 – graphviz requires MAKEOPTS="-j1"

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 173676
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pieter Van den Abeele (RETIRED) 2006-07-20 00:51:13 UTC]

Most of the time graphviz compiles fine here. However, I've had 

while emerge --oneshot graphviz >graphviz.log 2>&1; do true; done 

running for a whole night on a quad core system and sometimes graphviz fails to compile because two threads write to the same file at the same time. This goes away after setting MAKEOPTS to -j1

[Comment 1 Luca Barbato 2006-07-20 04:42:06 UTC]

could you tell me the file? I'd like to report upstream the issue and/or fix the Makefile sooner or later.

[Comment 2 Matt 2006-09-18 15:10:58 UTC]

confirmed !

this also applies to =graphviz-2.8 for me on ~x86, pentium-m
with Makeopts >=-j1 it won't compile ...

I don't have these problems with media-gfx/graphviz-2.12

[Comment 4 Chris Bainbridge (RETIRED) 2007-02-19 17:30:02 UTC]

So, was the problem fixed, or is someone going to identify the offending file/code? It's probably a missing Makefile dependency.

Hi,
this rather old bug might be a duplicate of bug #173676.
Hard to say anything more precise without having an emerge log
or at least the significant part of the log.
For the "multiple-target rules" causing the problem with 2.12
do also exist in 2.8, 2.6 and maybe earlier releases, it follows
that the same bug may have occured with previous ebuilds.

some progress / patching going on there, so duping this old one
