I remerged xawtv with USE=xext => failed I remerged with MAKE_OPTS=-j1, to get cleaner error message => success I remerged with MAKE_OPTS=-j3 => success So I could not reproduce this bug. Sadly, the original error message has also scrolled out of my buffer. Sorry, this is not much of a bug report, but it might still help someone experiencing the same problem.
while ebuild xawtv-3.95-r1.ebuild compile do ebuild xawtv-3.95-r1.ebuild clean done gave me an error message again: ... bdftopcf -o teletext1.pcf teletext1.bdf writing captioni.bdf writing teletext1i.bdf rm -f teletext1i.pcf.gz writing teletext2i.bdf bdftopcf -o teletext1i.pcf teletext1i.bdf gzip teletext1i.pcf gzip teletext1.pcf rm -f teletext2.pcf.gz bdftopcf -o teletext2.pcf teletext2.bdf rm -f teletext2i.pcf.gz bdftopcf -o teletext2i.pcf teletext2i.bdf BDF Error on line 16236: bad 'BBX' bdftopcf: bdf input, teletext2i.bdf, corrupt make: *** [teletext2i.pcf.gz] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... writing teletext4i.bdf gzip teletext2.pcf writing caption.bdf writing captioni.bdf !!! ERROR: media-tv/xawtv-3.95-r1 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1894: Called dyn_compile ebuild.sh, line 941: Called src_compile !!! tvfonts failed So it is possible to reproduce the bug, if you are patient. And you now know it's the make of the fonts, so it should perhaps not depend on xext but rather on X, although I did not try this. It should still be possible to build the main part of xawtv in parallel, just using -j1 for the fonts.
