• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Justus Ranvier 2012-07-08 09:07:18 UTC]

poco does not build successfully with certain MAKEOPTS.

MAKEOPTS="-j8 -l6.4" results in a build failure:

I can't reproduce this with MAKEOPTS=-j10, but when I add "-l9" to that it fails almost immediately.

[Comment 3 Justus Ranvier 2012-07-09 21:21:11 UTC]

This isn't the only package where I get this error. kdm-4.8.3 and systemsettings-4.8.3 behave the same way.

[Comment 4 Thomas Sachau 2012-12-20 16:50:38 UTC]

I cant reproduce this myself, so please report this to upstream or provide a patch, that fixes it for you

[Comment 5 Victor Mataré 2015-09-29 22:03:45 UTC]

I just ran into this problem, too. I know it sucks, but can't we just override parallel build with -j1 like they on other packages too, at least as a temporary workaround?

Please retry with 1.7.6
