Description Vladimir Kokarev 2008-06-28 20:06:23 UTC

I can't emerge boost-1.35.0-r1
compilation process hangs after this part:
------

-------
at this point emerge processes become idle and memory consumption grows about 20 mb per minute, so I just have to Ctrl+C. (Tried to wait till ~4 gb memory usage).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge =dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r1

Actual Results:

Comment 1 Vladimir Kokarev 2008-06-28 20:29:34 UTC

changing MAKEOPTS to "-j1" solved the problem

Comment 2 Richard Konrad 2008-07-02 00:38:56 UTC

I have the same problem as described below and the print-out would be verbatim.

I have a dual core processor.  Should I change MAKEOPTS TO -j1 for boost only then change it back to -j3?

Comment 4 Duncan 2008-10-11 01:53:19 UTC

This needs reopened, please.  MAKEOPTS=-j1 isn't a fix, only a workaround.

@ Richard:  Yes, but there's a better way, at least with newer portage (I run ~arch and don't remember when this feature was added).  Create this file: /etc/portage/env/dev-libs/boost .  Put in it a single line, 

MAKEOPTS=-j1

With a new enough portage, that should be all you need to do.  Portage will use only a single job when merging that package, but will automatically go back to your normal number of jobs for others.

This idea can be used for some but not all other settings as well.  In general, it works for anything controlled at the ebuild/bash level in portage, but not those values (such as some features) controlled at the python level.  The easiest way is to check it and see.  If it works, you won't have to worry about remembering how you got it to work the next time you remerge or update the package.  Just remember to check the stale env/*/* files once in awhile (comment the entries and test), and see if the problem has been fixed yet.

Duncan (using the above env file solution here)
