Description Tom Wesley 2004-08-28 09:17:48 UTC

but it compiles fine with MAKEOPTS="-j2".  Can the ebuild filter out higher than 2?

no, you'll have to provide more information as to what's going on here.

Sorry, thought I'd attached something similar to this already...

I think I'd like to re-open this. I have a similar phenomenon. I haven't attempted to narrow the parameters down yet, but

MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge -v kvirc

built kvirc-3.0.1-r1, while MAKEOPTS="-j6" (using distcc across three machines) failed to compile. I didn't try with -j2. This particular machine has kvirc in /etc/portage/package.keywords, and thus built the latest unstable, 3.0.1-r1.

Tom Wesley -- if you're still following this bug, did you have "distcc" enabled, or were you simply trying to run three jobs concurrently on a single machine?

Meanwhile, I'll try some other combinations, like -j2, -j3, etc., with distcc off to see if I can isolate what's happening.

If it's parallel make's fault, I don't see how using -jN with different N can
help narrow down the problem. Rather, run it with -j (no N == unlimited
parallel processes) to maximize the chance of encountering the issue, and
post the failed build's log here.

Comment 5 M. Edward Borasky 2005-02-03 06:50:27 UTC

Sounds like a plan ... should I disable "distcc" as well? I still don't know if the original poster had it enabled.

distcc shouldn't matter much with -j IMHO.

Comment 9 M. Edward Borasky 2005-02-03 20:35:26 UTC

Here you are -- I left "distcc" enabled and a number of error messages from "distcc" are present in the log. Please let me know if you want me to try this without distcc.
