Attempted to emerge openoffice about 8 times with MAKEOPTS="-j2". Each time the build process failed in a random place with a "No such file or directory" error. Made MAKEOPTS="-j1" and it worked the first time. Looks to me like this is a race condition and that the -j switch needs to be filtered. I am willing to do more testing upon requested and will attach last two build logs.

Well, the bugzilla server doesn't seem to be suited for uploading 25MB log files, so I'll just say that log files (and parts thereof) are available upon request.
Just bzip the log, will make it a lot smaller ;) BUT: the ebuild already does what you say, no more than one process is used by default. So unless you explicitely stated WANT_DISTCC="true" this should not happen. Did you do that?

Did you do that? suka, the sed expression in the ebuild does NOT work (as expected)... <snip> #!/bin/sh MAKEOPTS="-j9" echo ${MAKEOPTS} export JOBS=`echo "${MAKEOPTS}" | sed -e "s/.*-j\([0-9]\+\).*/\1/"` echo ${JOBS} </snip> $ ./test.sh -j9 9
That is the intended output. I do however wonder what happens if in the configure script when the value is not specified. Does that mean maximum? Or does it mean 1. Perhaps adding an else clause to set jobs to 1 would be appropriate, together with a check on emptyness of the MAKEOPTS variable.
Created attachment 75244 [details] Log of failed OO 2 build with MAKEOPTS="-j2" Ah yes, text compression, what a novel idea. :-D There's no WANT_DISTCC in my make.conf, and while distcc is installed it is disabled for portage. There isn't anywhere else it could be turned on is there? I don't know much about ebuilds, but it looks to me like openoffice-2.0.0.ebuild calls make explicitly (rather than using emake). Does that mean that the value of MAKEOPTS is effectively ignored if WANT_DISTCC is not set to true???
*** Bug 116660 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
@Paul: The configure-script defaults to 1, so this should be fine, but I agree we should maybe add JOBS="1" as a default, just to make sure. @Joshua: Still this bug does not look to me as if it is in any way related to the MAKEOPTS-settings, I know you are saying it built fine with MAKEOPTS="-j1" but maybe this was just an "accident". As stated before, MAKEOPTS should really have no influence here, also I don't see any sign of the build actually using more than one process in your build log. Also that it fails at a different place every time doesn't add to the probability of it. Looks more like a compiler or hardware problem to me, or maybe this is related to using hardened (which is known problematic for OOo)
That is because the ebuild would not finish the configuration stage unless I set MAKEOPTS="-j1". Instead of using system packages, it makes assumptions as to what those packages are. Then fails when it can't find them. I first #export MAKEOPTS="-j1". Then the error log is generated.
@David: To be honest: I don't understand a single word of what you are trying to say: (In reply to comment #8) > That is because the ebuild would not finish the configuration stage unless I > set MAKEOPTS="-j1". Who are you replying to, and why should that happen? > Instead of using system packages, it makes assumptions as > to what those packages are. Then fails when it can't find them. ??? > I first #export MAKEOPTS="-j1". Then the error log is generated. Which error log???
Works here, closing
