GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 508512
gedit/Makefile.am does not work with 'MAKEOPTS="-j" make install
Last modified: 2008-01-24 22:33:19 UTC
This is a problem due to the usage of "install-exec-local" wich makes the Makefile sometimes try to 'ln -s gedit gnome-test-editor' before all install-exec really has installed everything (and fail becouse gedit does not exist in the right place yet). By using "install-exec-hook" instead the Makefile will not try to run 'ln -s' until install-exec really has done its job.
Created attachment 102521 [details] [review] Patch against gedit-2.20.4 but problem still exists in svn trunk.
sometimes as in "it can occur if you run make -j or make -j${NUMBER}" on a compile farm or a multi proc/core system. Thanks for considering.
Created attachment 103444 [details] [review] Patch against trunk. As this is something that breaks SMP/distcc builds, could you please apply it?
thanks! fixed in svn
