Bug 80857 – eix 0.2.0 alpha build error: file format not recognized

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Abraham Smith 2005-02-05 05:42:42 UTC]

Trying to emerge eix-0.2.0_alpha.  Get:

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

I see looking at similar bugs reports in other packages that this is related to MAKEOPTS. I'm using distcc and -j6.  Will try with -distcc and -j1 shortly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

MAKEOPTS="-j1" FEATURES="-distcc" emerge eix 
worked just fine (but so slow...)

[Comment 2 Søren Chrestensen 2005-02-05 09:31:53 UTC]

works fine here with MAKEOPTS="-j2" maybe it's just distcc being baaad?

[Comment 3 Abraham Smith 2005-02-05 09:33:36 UTC]

Yeah, that seems right: I tried -j1 both with distcc and without distcc, and it only worked without.

0.2.0 should be released today and so will the ebuild, please try if things got fixed, otherwise we have to investigate. don't hesitate to join #eix on freenode!

could you please attach emerge info as well thanks

[Comment 8 Abraham Smith 2005-02-07 04:23:30 UTC]

Hmm.. interesting.  I was exporting /usr/portage from another machine, but I'd think this wouldn't matter during the build phase.  Yesterday, I actually changed the /usr/portage NFS server to another machine, since one was being unreliable.

(... tried switching NFS option no_subtree_check on new machine ...)

Okay, now I'm not sure what was going on.

I've cleared the .ccache and .distcc directories on the distcc machines and the localhost.  eix builds fine, also regardless of the NFS option.  

I'm quite certain it was happening before, but I can't seem to make it fail now!
Perhaps some other package updated in the past couple days which inadvertantly fixed this??

[Comment 9 Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) 2005-02-07 05:01:14 UTC]

well, i don't know for sure, but after reading through google and mailinglists, this seems rather a bug concerning nfs/distcc/ccache or broken connection, hardware dying or the like

i'll resolve as invalid for now, please feel free to reopen it, if the error occurs again
