parallel make issue?

above that:

Idiots.  They've completely unnecesarily added a target to all:

monodir = $(libdir)/purple-$(PURPLE_MAJOR_VERSION)
mono_SCRIPTS = MPlugin.dll GetBuddyBack.dll
mono_build_sources = $(addprefix $(srcdir)/, $(mono_sources))

all: $(mono_SCRIPTS)

This is breaking recursive make.

[Comment 4 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2007-10-31 22:45:35 UTC]

Does 2.2.1 build correctly with mono ?

[Comment 5 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2007-10-31 22:46:26 UTC]

From what I can see here, the mono flag has been disabled in the ebuild... Or do you have a modified ebuild?

[Comment 6 Ed Catmur 2007-10-31 23:22:23 UTC]

Created attachment 134847 [details, diff]
mono-build.patch

[Comment 7 Ed Catmur 2007-11-01 22:15:47 UTC]

Ah... looks like I'm using compnerd's tree for this one.  Don't know why I didn't spot that.

[Comment 8 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2008-02-16 19:41:12 UTC]

mono is disabled
