#17516: netpbm: parallel build fails --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: mas@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: netpbm | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Bryan explained that he had fixed the problem in his "Stable", "Advanced" and "Development" branches, but not in the "Super Stable" branch, which is the one the MacPorts netpbm port seems to be following, perhaps because "Super Stable" is the only branch for which netpbm releases source tarballs; the other branches are available only from their Subversion repository. {{{ Sorry, I must not have realized you were using the Super Stable (10.26) series. I fixed the parallel make only in Stable, Advanced, and Development. I don't think this change is a good idea in Super Stable because a) the make files are rather different there; b) there probably is other work that would have to be done to make parallel make truly work; and c) parallel make adds little value. But if you want to stay with 10.26 and have parallel make, you could try applying the same change locally. It's Subversion Revision 733 of 'trunk', which is this: }}} He then provided a diff of his revision 733, which I've attached here. We can either try to apply that and see if it works (he thinks it might not), or we can just leave parallel building off until the Stable branch becomes the Super Stable branch. Or we can try to switch the port to use the Stable branch now. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17516#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
