Bug 40247 – sandbox compile error when -j>1

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Torgeir Hansen 2004-02-03 00:23:08 UTC]

It appears that the build process for sandbox (portage-2.0.49-r21/src/sandbox-1.1) is broken when using parallell build.
This can easily be tested by entering src/sandbox-1.1 and issuing:
-
make clean; export MAKEFLAGS="-j3"; make 
-
Now you should get a error similar to this:
--

rm -f libsandbox.so sandbox

A watchfull eye will discover that getcwd.c is being compiled at the same time  ./create-localdecls is being run, and since create-localdecls is a script that tries to create localdecls.h, which getcwd.c needs - it's not a surprise that this fails :p 

This is rather simple to fix; attaching a patch to sandbox' Makefile, which will ensure that jobs make will attempt to execute in paralell will wait for create-localdecls to execute.

Created attachment 24875 [details, diff]
Makefile patch to solve parallel build issue.

supposed to be fixed in 2.0.50 which is stable now. If this bug is not fixed please reopen.
