www-client/chromium-7.0.517.41 stalls while compiling

I've been trying to build chromium (the web browser, not the game), but every time I've tried it stalls after compiling `media/filters/omx_video_decoder.cc'. I first tried building with my normal MAKEOPTS="-j6"*, it stalled there, and I've gone down sequentially to MAKEOPTS="-j3" with every attempt stalling at this same spot. Has anyone else had this problem?

Here is the build.log.

* I have a Core i7 Q720 @1.60GHz, 4 cores with one hyperthread each, 8GB RAM.

Works for me on amd64 and makeopts="-j3".
Try makeopts="-j1" just to be sure.

May be your are running out of space on the build partition ? Just installed here without any problems

I don't think so. My /var is 4GB formatted with reiser4 (with compression), and right now df -h shows:

Code: Select all

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda9             3.9G  839M  3.0G  22% /var

That's without cleaning up temporary files. I'm compiling with MAKEOPTS="-j1" atm. I'll see how that goes.

Setting PORTAGE_TMPDIR to /home/portage/tmp (the /home partition is 95GB) doesn't stop compilation from stalling either, so it's not a space issue. I guess I'll go file a bug report..

Using distcc? I've had compiles stall due to network problems a few times.

No, I'm not using distcc.

ccache could create odd compilation failures.

Could you post the emerge --info? It'd be great to identify the build command that hangs. Also, it would be useful to see the log output just before the hang. Does anything interesting appear in dmesg?

I'll try and build chromium again and post this (clean /var/tmp/portage).
