Bug 280546 – =net-fs/samba-3.0.33 does not compile on multicore

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description mehrunes 2009-08-06 11:19:41 UTC]

samba does not compile on multi-CPU system with MAKEOPTS="-j -l3" 

Probably bad upstream makefile

Posssibly directory "bin" not created prior to accessing it

Possibly adding " mkdir bin" after line 883 in Makefile.in might help

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use 64-bit AMD or Intel with 2 or more CPUs
2. Set MAKEOPTS="-j -l3"
3. emerge net-fs/samba

Actual Results:  
compilation fails

Expected Results:  
compilation successful
