Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-11-09 21:22:17 UTC

Parallel building of media-video/totem-3.26.0[introspection,vala] fails due to this long-standing bug in Meson:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1994

Original bug report in Totem:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786248

Workaround suggested by Totem upstream:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786248#c16
"""
    Work-around:
    ninja src/Totem-1.0.gir
    ninja
"""


It is better to firstly fix bug #670790, which will allow to write code in ebuild in more convenient way.

Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-11-10 23:08:08 UTC

Mart Raudsepp implied in bug #670790 that gnome-meson.eclass is deprecated.
If so, then the change in ebuild should be:
+src_compile() {
+	# Workaround for bug in Meson
+	# https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1994
+	# https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786248
+	meson_src_compile src/Totem-1.0.gir
+	meson_src_compile
+}

totem has neither vala nor introspection USE flags today.
