Bug 111940 – sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r6 emerge (install) failed while using MAKEFLAGS="-j2" in make.conf

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Nikolay Pashenkov 2005-11-09 00:02:17 UTC]

emerge sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r6 failed to install(not to build!) when I'm using
MAKEFLAGS="-j2" variable in my /etc/make.conf. Solution for me now is to comment
out this line in /etc/make.conf.

sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r5 ebuild is ok.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # MAKEFLAGS="-j2" emerge =sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r6

Actual Results:

>>> Install flex-2.5.4a-r6 into /var/tmp/portage/flex-2.5.4a-r6/image/ category

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2005-11-09 05:59:21 UTC]

MAKEFLAGS is the wrong variable, you want MAKEOPTS

if you filed any other parallel bugs recently, you should mark those INVALID as well
