Bug 77235 – mplayer ebuilds do not support distcc feature

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jan Safrata 2005-01-09 08:09:47 UTC]

Because plain make is used to compile mplayer in ebuild instead of emake, distcc feature is not used.

Could the following line in mplayer ebuild
  make all || die "Failed to build MPlayer!"

be replaced for example with
  make depend && emake || die "Failed to build MPlayer!"

please?

Thanks.

This bug is not duplicate for #64749 - I do not have any problem compiling mplayer using -j4 distcc, it compiles just fine. But the original ebuilds discard -j4 make switch from MAKEOPTS simply because "make" is used instead of "emake" in the ebuild.

With following patch to the ebuild, mplayer compiles just fine using distcc feature. Could you, please, apply it?
