#101 Parallel build with internal gsl

[Martin von Gagern]

A parallel build (-j3 to make) of bogofilter-1.3.3 just got me these three lines among others:

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DBOGOFILTER ... -o bogofilter bogofilter.o main.o libbogofilter.a strlcpy.o strlcat.o /usr/lib/libdb.so libbf_gsl.a -lm

i686-pc-linux-gnu-ar cru libbf_gsl.a libbf_gsl_a-chisq.o ... libbf_gsl_a-minmax.o

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: libbf_gsl.a: No such file or directory

So the archive is still being built when another process tries to link against it. Reason is probably that libbf_gsl.a is not mentioned in bogofilter_DEPENDENCIES. Adding this inside the NEED_GSL conditional part of Makefile.am might solve the problem, but I'm no autotools wizard, so I'm not sure.

I will also note my observation in this Gentoo bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112638
The bug report was started for 0.92.8, but the problem looks the same to me.

patch for src/Makefile.am

The patch, as suggested, causes a complaint of "+=" being used before bogofilter_DEPENDENCIES has been set. The attached patch puts the GSL test after setting bogofilter_DEPENDENCIES thus handling the complaint. However not having an SMP system I can't test the patch.

Note: just running "make" will regenerate src/Makefile from src/Makefile.am (without manually running autoconf).

Please let me know if the patch works!

Hi Martin,

could you confirm if David's solution fixes the build for you?

I've set this report to pending, i. e. it will be automatically closed in a fortnight, barring further input.

Thank you.

Best regards
Matthias

Haven't encountered build issues with bogofilter for some time now, so I take it that r6607 did fix the issue.

Feel free to close, and thanks for the fix in the first place.

Closing according to Martin's feedback.
