Wouldn't it be a good idea if some ebuilds would themselves know that they need MAKEOPTS="-j1"?
I'm running into this issue often with various packages - they compile only with MAKEOPTS="-j1". Therefore I just have it in my make.conf, which is far from ideal, because other packages that can use MAKEOPTS="-j9" compile much slower than they could. I know I could only set MAKEOPTS="-j1" sometimes when something goes wrong, but I don't have time for getting compile problems, researching them, and fixing them manually.
Just like ebuilds can filter compile flags, couldn't they also filter make flags? |

Just for the records: "-j1" does work on both my Gentoo computers. Didn't know that this seems to be a common workaround...
Thank you for the "-j1" pointer  |

You don't have to just do:
| Code: |
MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge sys-apps/coreutils
|
on the command line |

Yes, but it is a better idea if someone fixes the build system to work properly without requiring -j1. Many ebuilds already do force non-parallel builds. Search for emake -j1 (correct way to disable parallel) or \<make\> (wrong way to disable parallel) in the tree. |

I thought arghhh screw it... i'll try your suggestion "MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge sys-apps/coreutils"
then started a world update and all seems ok "so far"
I'm up for a hell of an update with Kde 4.8.4 though... this may take a few hours.... i'm going to bed. LoL
will post back |

Yep that did the trick.... Thanx.
I only wonder if this will cause any future stability/speed issues.... |

| Read the bug report, you'll see it was little trick for man pages, i'm quiet sure no instabilities will comes from dropping a manpages patch that wasn't working |

There's nothing similar to package.use for this?

Same problem and same solution here

Edit: bugzilla's last entry says that it's been fixed in the portage tree, I didn't check though

Hi all,
Thanks for the handy work around!! Very timely!!
Having been put on to potential benefits of LTO (from an on-line blog) and how to switch off LTO for specific packages that don't support link time optimisation - when using gcc 4.7.x...
It's much easier to create a file:
| Code: | | /etc/portage/env/make-j1.conf |
Then you can specify packages that require single threaded making in the standard portage environment file:
| Code: | | /etc/portage/package.env |
| Code: | | sys-apps/coreutils make-j1.conf |
From the portage man page:
| Code: | ...
package.env
Per-package environment variable settings. Entries refer to environment files that are placed in the /etc/portage/env/ directory and have the same format as
make.conf(5).
Format:
- comment lines begin with # (no inline comments)
- one DEPEND atom per line followed by name(s) of environment file(s)
Example:
# use environment variables from /etc/portage/env/glibc.conf for the glibc package
sys-libs/glibc glibc.conf
... |
Anyone know what other packages need single threaded making? I've got some packages that are reverted to no-LTO - but could this be due to needing single-threading??
Thanks
Bob |
