Bug 53084 – ORBit2-2.10.0 fails to compile: libname-server-2.a not found

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description klync 2004-06-05 13:03:54 UTC]

On a fresh install, emerging ORBit2 fails like so:

/var/tmp/portage/ORBit2-2.10.0/work/ORBit2-2.10.0/src/orb/.libs/libORBit-2.so
/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /usr/lib/libpopt.so /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so -lpthread -lm /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so
gcc: libname-server-2.a: No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [orbit-name-server-2] Error 1

Gack! a thread on the forums suggests creating a link to /usr/lib/libname-server-2.a in the source tree, but this file is actually provided by ORBit2, so I do not yet have it. Besides, that seems fishy anyway.

After changing my CFLAGS from -O3 to -O2, ORBit2 compiled successfully.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




btw, I installed ccache after the ORBit2 ebuild had already failed once.  after
enabling ccache, but keeping -O3, it failed again.

set your makejobs to 1 & try again

I was having the same error.

'MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge ORBit2' worked for me.  I'm guessing this is some sort of dependency issue in the build script for ORBit2, which would require a patch to their build script?  Could we institute a temporary hack to work around this problem by forcing MAKEOPTS="-j1" in the ebuild?

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2004-07-12 08:32:37 UTC]

we do that in newer ebuilds.. i didn't bother to update all of them because it seems to be a race condition that doesn't surface often.
