Description Sebastian Spaeth 2007-01-21 09:44:37 UTC 
When you build tracker 0.5.3 with a parallel build e.g. "-j2", make will bomb out:

make[3]: *** No rule to build target  »../../src/libtracker/libtrackerclient.la«, 
  needed by »tracker-search«.  Ending.
(note this is an approx translation from German)
This came up in Gentoo bugzilla (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147470), it was found that this is a reace condition because of bad autoconf magic on the tracker side. Apparently replacing all occurances of:

-			$(top_builddir)/src/libtracker/libtrackerclient.la
+			libtrackerclient.la

in tracker-0.5.3/src/libtracker/Makefile.am, fixes things. This might not be the correct fix, I have no knowledge of automake stuff, but it is reported to fix things. THanks for considering this patch (or any other solution you choose)
