Christian;
THANKS, for the reply.
Im trying to see what I can do to help out with either of the Mac
ooo projects [preference given to the Aqua build]. At the moment, I
think the biggest thing I have to offer, is that I have a Quad G5
that is idle at least 8 - 10 hours M-F. If you [or anyone else]
have any suggestion as to how I might help out, I would be more than
willing to listen [and/or be lead around with a lot of instructions,
till I learn 'the ropes'].

Hi Russel,

Well; ... the 'build' in instsetoo_native directory worked.
I also started a simple build of an almost clean tree [almost,
because
I copied the Helpcontent2 directory from a previously completed
build,
per Ericb's suggestion]; as I went to bed last night, and it
completed
without ANY errors [took almost 7 hours].
I'm going to have to say that parallel builds on a PPC under Leopard
are seriously FLAKEY! Whether you use -P2 or P4.
That is a wrong conclusion (unfortunately - I'd be happy if it really
was a parallel build issue, then it would be rather easy to fix),
but it
is not a parallel build issue in that case.
When you specify -Px to build, it tells build to build multiple
modules
(that don't depend on each other) in parallel.
Packaging the installsets is the very last module that is to be built,
nothing is run in parallel at that stage, since the installer needs
everything else, so it doesn't matter what you specify.
Whether it breaks or not depends on solar winds or temerature or
whatever (just as the i18npool problem, this happens from time to
time).
regcomp just is broken in a way that it sometimes doesn't work and
will
cause those breakers. I observed that when you compile cpputools with
debug=true, the break in instsetoo_native will less likely occur (in
fact, I let the tinderbox rebuild cpputools with debug=true when the
build fails in instsetoo_native and then let it build instsetoo_native
again, before that I just let it try 5 times or so)
ciao
