Description Bel Zébute 2004-12-20 13:42:13 UTC

By default, I have MAKEOPTS=-j32, and distcc hosts contains 8 hosts entries with /4 (8*4=32).

Wine will fail with this amount of available compile nodes, eventualy giving some "Waiting for child process bla bla" error message.

I haven't found the upper limit, but it failed when I removed the /4 and MAKEOPTS=-j8.  It succesfully builded with MAKEOPTS=-j2.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




I think there should be an upper limit to MAKEOPTS, maybe -j2 which seem to do
the job.

wine-20050111 now in portage, try that

if it fails, actually post some info (like a log of the build failure, `emerge wine >& log`
