The same.

Apparently compiling it manualy from the build direcorty works (see bug 766009), I have the following comments

I have the same problem. However perhaps some instructions on compiling manualy from the build directory.  Since I've never manualy compiled an application like this for Gentoo; I preformed the following... Hopefully it is correct.

I browsed to /var/tmp/portage/indent-2.2.9-r2/work
make && make install
echo "dev-util/indent-2.2.9-r2" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provide

Anything wrong with that?

[Comment 5 Heinrich Nirschl 2005-01-04 02:27:50 UTC]

Given the history of that (see also Bug 76598) may I suggest to do a little testing before changes are committed? We are talking about the "stable" version here.

[Comment 6 Ivan Yosifov 2005-01-04 03:09:51 UTC]

I get the same error.

[Comment 7 Ivan Yosifov 2005-01-04 03:20:45 UTC]

I set MAKEOPTS="-j1" in /etc/make.conf and it works.

[Comment 8 Ludovico Poggioli 2005-01-04 03:36:28 UTC]

Same as Ivan, I put MAKEOPTS="-j1" in /etc/make.conf and it works smoothly.

[Comment 9 Emilio Pavia 2005-01-04 05:54:35 UTC]

The same here. It works with

# MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge -u indent

[Comment 10 Thomas "wolvie" Andrade 2005-01-04 06:03:16 UTC]

same.. 
MAKEOPTS="" emerge indent went fine...

[Comment 11 SpanKY 2005-01-04 06:49:46 UTC]

fixed in cvs

Created attachment 47732 [details, diff]
actually fixes the bug exhibited during parallel make

This patch causes the texinfo2man binary to be built before make tries to call
texinfo2man. The build process now requres a call to autoreconf before calling
./configure

[Comment 14 SpanKY 2005-01-05 14:56:15 UTC]

although that may be the idea, it's not quite right

in fact, depending on either texinfo2man or texinfo2man.c is not quite right

you dont want to rebuild the manpage everytime, only when the .c file has been updated ... then again, you dont want to *try* to rebuild the manpage until the binary has been built

> you dont want to rebuild the manpage everytime, only when the .c file has been updated ... then again, you dont want to *try* to rebuild the manpage until the binary has been built

You want to rebuild the man page everytime you get the binary since a make clean should remove it, and a rebuild could be a reason for the output (man-files) to change.
