Emerging dev-java/icedtea-7.2.0-r1 fails because of a misconfigured "-j" option to make. Sadly the error happens way down somewhere in the guts of the build process. I think the problematic lines are: make: Entering an unknown directory make: the `-j' option requires a positive integral argument Output: ... cd linux_amd64_compiler2/product && /usr/bin/make -w " LP64=1 " make[6]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-7.2.0-r1/work/icedtea-2.0/openjdk.build-boot/hotspot/outputdir/linux_amd64_compiler2/product' make: Entering an unknown directory make: the `-j' option requires a positive integral argument Usage: make [options] [target] ...

As a workaround setting MAKEOPTS="-j5" in /etc/make.conf should allow you to compile icedtea. Off course any other -j value should be fine as well as long as it's explicit.
# grep MAKEOPTS /etc/make.conf MAKEOPTS="-j=5" Nope. Same error. MAKEOPTS is ignored by icedtea. I use MAKEOPTS="--jobs=8" normally. Did comment it in the last try which is reflected my emerge --info output.
(In reply to comment #2) > # grep MAKEOPTS /etc/make.conf > MAKEOPTS="-j=5" That's wrong syntax. Correct is: MAKEOPTS="-j5"
That's right, but the ebuild doesn't recognize the long make option --jobs=N... It's the expression in the sed call at line 183, I will attach an patch.
Created attachment 291877 [details, diff] Ebuild Patch to make icedtea.ebuild recognize long --jobs=N option
Just took a peek at similar bugs. This is about makeopts handling in icedtea-6: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337827 As stated by fulax, take a look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241684#c11
(In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #2) > > # grep MAKEOPTS /etc/make.conf > > MAKEOPTS="-j=5" > > That's wrong syntax. Correct is: > MAKEOPTS="-j5" Uuups. You're right. I've overlooked that one. However, I applied patch from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389791#c5 and it works with long MAKEOPT options again. Fixed. Thx!
Fixed, thanks. In the end I used code from waf-utils.eclass which seemed even more robust.
