Hi David,

opendx compiles fine here on my opteron. It looks like it
may be a parallel make problem even though I've
never had a problem with dx and the -j5 I am using.

Could you please post your emerge --info?
In case you have MAKEOPTS > -j1 could you
try -j1 please.

Thanks,
Markus

I tried with MAKEOPTS="-j1" instead of -j3 and the build was successful.It seems Markus was right about parallel make problem.

[Comment 5 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2008-01-26 13:39:12 UTC]

Hi David,

Good to hear the -j1 works for you. I am a little bit hesitant
to turn parallel make off in the ebuild since this is the first
time I've ever heard of this being a problem for opendx.
If it comes up again for other users we'll probably have to 
bite the bullet though and turn it off.
Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks,
Markus

Ok Markus, that sounds fine.

Thanks,
David.

Great! I am leaving the ebuild as is for now and
we'll fix it up in case other users report the same -jx issue.

Best,
Markus
