Description Travis Hunter 2008-03-23 04:22:37 UTC 
When emerging gnucash with MAKEOPTS="-j5", compile sometimes fails with libtool errors about relinking libgnc-file-backend.la several times from different jobs. Emerging with MAKEOPTS="-j1" seems to fix this.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. MAKEOPTS="-j5" emerge gnucash
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Compile sometimes fails with libtool errors.

Expected Results:  
Successful emerge

When setting MAKEOPTS="-j1" and reemerging, emerge was successful last two times.

Reopen with full emerge log attached showing the errors, really cannot guess.

Build log for the failed emerge of gnucash

Same error, but not using MAKEOPTS="-j5" using -j3 on mine. Have not tried the -j1.

The part failing mentioned in build log is:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
libtool: install: error: relink `libgncmod-backend-file.la' with the above command before installing it
make[6]: *** [install-pkglibLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make[6]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Comment 3 Decibels 2008-03-24 13:01:21 UTC 
Well, does work if change MAKEOPTS="-j1". 

Have it running finally, but going to try again, cause there is still bugs on guile and gnucash to deal with. I emerge gnucash with nodeps this time to see if would compile cause couldn't start it with the newer versions of guile. But thats another bug.

Reopen...
Comment 5 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-24 21:25:04 UTC 
The ebuilds already use "emake -j1". So whatever number of jobs you set in MAKEOPTS it should be reduced to only one job.
Comment 6 Decibels 2008-03-24 21:55:52 UTC 
So what would you like us to do? Willing to work on it.
Comment 7 Marc Champion 2008-03-24 22:44:05 UTC 
I can confirm this on amd64. Emerging gnucash-2.2.3 stopped for me about 5 times with the error:

libtool: install: error: relink `libgncmod-backend-file.la' with the above
command before installing it

After changing MAKEOPTS="-j3" to MAKEOPTS="-j1" in /etc/make.conf the emerge worked the first time.
Comment 8 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-25 03:15:56 UTC 
Ok, they've just changed the gnome2.eclass. It now uses emake (which respects MAKEOPTS). <http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/eclass/gnome2.eclass?r1=1.83&r2=1.84>
Comment 9 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-25 03:47:40 UTC 
Back to one job for make install.

It would be great if someone fixes the build system and makes it parallel make safe.


Thanks for the bug report.
