Bug 162782 – mozilla-firefox does not build with -j option specified in make.conf

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135420
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Trevor Benedict 2007-01-19 12:26:44 UTC]

mozilla-firefox and it could be that other mozilla applications do not build with -j option specified in make.conf.
I found this out when rebuilding Mozilla Firefox with distcc enabled.
Yes distcc was working fine for other applications(Did a -e world).

As we all know it takes forever to build Mozilla applications and it would speed up building times if the application would use the -j options within the make.conf.

This really sucks for multi core systems, or someone like me that has a nice distcc setup.

Im unsure if this is a .eclass problem or a .ebuild problem.

SideNote: I can see why some applications need to do -j1, but there are a few applications that take it upon them selfs to ignore settings that are set in the make.conf, and at sometime may need a review of their build code.

Reproducible: Always

That's why the ebuilds now specify emake -j1 until it's fixed upstream.

Until what is fixed upstream?
The other bug report didn't say what it is.

Until the parallel make issues are fixed upstream...

Just compiled mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.3.ebuild with -j3 so, looks like it fixed upstream.
