The dependencies are all there, and the program builds correctly without parallel make (-j#). When parallel make is enabled however, the makefile is not properly organized and the dependencies are lost. For some reason in GNU make logic, even though the dependencies are there for the binary, it tries to build the binary before the dependencies are complete. I am not sure how that is possible, but the -j flag makes it happen.
I am fairly certain now that it is a problem within the makefile, but I don't yet understand what's wrong. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kegel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 4:49 PM To: Jeremy Glazman Cc: distcc@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [distcc] distcc times out in mid-build Jeremy Glazman wrote: > After some more rigorous testing, it appears that the problem is a race > condition.

I would think the GNU solution is for you to add the missing dependency to your Makefile. That doesn't qualify as a redesign in my book. __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
