Bug 569702 – dev-libs/libappindicator-12.10.0-r300: parallel build failure

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Xepher 2015-12-25 11:33:34 UTC]

Multi-job make (-j5) causes race condition, as there's a header file generated during compile, but also required during compile.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. MAKEOPTS="-j50" emerge libappindicator

Actual Results:  
Most likely results (race condition):

/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/libappindicator-12.10.0-r300/work/libappindicator-12.10.0/src/app-indicator.c:43:41: fatal error: application-service-marshal.h: No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
Successful compile.

Setting MAKEOPTS="-j1" works without issue.

[Comment 1 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2015-12-26 11:09:56 UTC]

We try to fix the issue rather than blindly set makeopts to -j1.

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2016-05-07 08:32:57 UTC]

Please attach the full build.log too

[Comment 3 Xepher 2016-05-08 00:04:57 UTC]

Sorry, wasn't suggesting to blindly set it to -j1, just showing how to reproduce. 

As for a build log, I went to try to get one, but I can no longer reproduce the problem myself either. Even set it on a loop to rebuild repeatedly since I suspected it was a race condition, but two hours later, still no failures. I suppose this may as well be closed.

Thanks for feedback

Sorry to spoil the party, but I can reproduce it with 200/300 as well as 201/301.

Yep, the same here with 12.10.0-r201, because it was now marked **stable** - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582324

Please retry with latest version... if still valid for you, please report to upstream as, otherwise, I don't think it will be fixed ever

Thanks

Emerge built it several times in a row, both with -j50 and my default -j16. Can't reproduce the issue. Good enough for me. Only nm-applet and transmission even use this on my system anymore.

thanks for the feedback!

remerged the pkg and that worked.
