Some of the .cc files are dependent on .h files, which must first be created from running mcop on the .idl files. For example, arts/gui/common/genericguifactory_impl.cc relies on artsgui.h, which is built after running mcop on artsgui.idl. However, for users using make with the "-j N" option, in most cases the compilation for genericguifactory_impl.cc gets run before mcop has had a chance to run, causing the build to fail. (This also seems to persist with some of the other .idl files in the the arts/ subdirectory, and it may manifest itself in other subdirectories as well.) Solution: I can either recommend to add a "-j1" to the compiler flags in the Makefile to override the parallel make behavior, or to add a .NOTPARALLEL argument to the makefile to disable the parallel building. There may be other, smarter, options as well. 213149 1 caleb 2004-03-08 03:11:57 +0000 I've committed this (NOTPARALLEL) fix for HEAD. I'll plan to fix it in the 3.2 branch too as long as nobody complains about it in head. 213256 2 coolo 2004-03-08 14:03:59 +0000 or you fix it the right way instead of adding nonsense work arounds?
