[SOLVED] chromium-78.0.3904.34 fails to emerge

Message

It also fails with FEATURES="-ccache".
emerge --info '=www-client/chromium-78.0.3904.34::gentoo' is here.
The complete build log is 41M, so the last 200 lines are here.

Code: Select all

$ emerge -pqv '=www-client/chromium-78.0.3904.34::gentoo'
[ebuild     U ] www-client/chromium-78.0.3904.34 [77.0.3865.90] USE="closure-compile cups hangouts jumbo-build (pic) proprietary-codecs pulseaudio suid system-ffmpeg tcmalloc widevine -component-build -custom-cflags -gnome-keyring -kerberos (-selinux) -system-icu (-system-libvpx)" L10N="-am -ar -bg -bn -ca -cs -da -de -el -en-GB -es -es-419 -et -fa -fi -fil -fr -gu -he -hi -hr -hu -id -it -ja -kn -ko -lt -lv -ml -mr -ms -nb -nl -pl -pt-BR -pt-PT -ro -ru -sk -sl -sr -sv -sw -ta -te -th -tr -uk -vi -zh-CN -zh-TW"

Any debugging hints will be gratefully received.

[SOLVED] I removed jumbo-build from the chromium line in /etc/portage/package.use and now a simple

Code: Select all

emerge -1 chromium

works. [/SOLVED]

In your 200 lines build.log there is no real error. You can compresse build.log and put it somewhere?

Is there a reason u want this version? Maybe try something with ninja.

build.log.bz2 is here.

It would be nice to allow attaching files here, but I know nothing about this server and if this is possible.

But it looks like it would not be so difficult to change wgetpaste the way that you can upload files with it to this server. But this again depends on this server and the admins. I do not know a lot about servers.

Huh, the build.log with 32 parallel jobs is is very hard to read. Can you please make a build.log with

Code: Select all

MAKEOPTS="-j1" USE="-jumbo-build" emerge -av1 chromium

I think the log is then more helpful for finding the real error.

The error is this:

Code: Select all

./../../chrome/browser/extensions/api/messaging/native_process_launcher.cc:273:72: error: no matching function for call to ‘StrCat(<brace-enclosed initializer list>)’

(source code here): https://chromium.googlesource.com/chrom ... auncher.cc

Not sure, but could be also something related to GCC version: lately with 9.2.0 I'm struggling to build any chromium version after 78.0.3887.7 (I'm using FireBurn overlay), for similar issues related to "<brace-enclosed initializer list>".

Thanks. It installed with these environment variables. I'm not sure why.

Hmm, then it is probably a parallel build issue :-/
Next step, I would try it with reduced build jobs like

Code: Select all

MAKEOPTS="-j16" emerge -av1 chromium

I think it should work with your hardware

Code: Select all

System uname: Linux-5.3.2-gentoo-x86_64-AMD_Ryzen_Threadripper_2950X_16-Core_Processor-with-gentoo-2.6

What works for me is to keep the parallelism and throw away the jumbo build by removing jumbo-build from the chromium line in /etc/portage/package.use. Then a normal

Code: Select all

emerge -1 chromium

emerges successfully.

Thanks for pointing out the sensitivity of MAKEOPTS and USE="-jumbo-build' to a successful chromium emerge.

Here's your problem:

FEATURES="... ccache ..."

Jumboo build and ccache do not get together well. While most of the time there's no problem, from time to time there are seemingly unexplainable errors.

Try disabling ccache for Chromium, it slows down the build either way, because virtually all source files get changed from version to version, that calculating hash codes for them is only overhead, rather than any help.

Georgi

I tried both FEATURES="-ccache" and CCACHE_RECACHE=true to no avail. Earlier versions of chromium occasionally wouldn't emerge without such ccache alterations. This time only disabling jumbo build worked.

Each emerge of chromium provides a puzzle: what combination of ccache, MAKEOPTS, and jumbo build will work this time?

I see this line multiple times in your build log:

Code: Select all

../../ui/aura/window.h:44:67: warning: missing terminating ' character
   44 | #error This file must not be included on macOS; Chromium Mac doesn't use Aura.

After all it seems like make scripts issue. Sorry for pointing out something I didn't explicitly check.

I was able to compile 78.0.3887.7 a week ago, but this version isn't in the tree anymore. If you like, you could download it from the git history.

Georgi
