[...] Hello, afaict it is just a doc-generation issue, the arch-any package does not differ. This part of the toplevel makefile seems to be the problem: CFG2HTML = alphatoc.html body.html cattoc.html [...] $(CFG2HTML) : @echo 'Making htmlized lynx.cfg' cd $(SRC_DIR) && $(MAKE_RECUR) LYReadCFG.i @-rm -f $(CFG2HTML) sed -n -e '/Config_Type *Config_Table/,/{0, *0, *0}/ p' $(SRC_DIR)/LYReadCFG.i | \ sed -e 's/ *{ *"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/' | \ perl $(scripts_dir)/cfg2html.pl -ams $(srcdir)/lynx.cfg -rm -f $(SRC_DIR)/LYReadCFG.i With -j > 1 the same rule runs multiple times in parallel and job1, generating alphatoc.html will remove $(SRC_DIR)/LYReadCFG.i before job2 can read it. This patch (use a "Grouped Target") fixes the issue for me: ----------- --- lynx-2.9.0dev.6.orig/makefile.in +++ lynx-2.9.0dev.6/makefile.in @@ -338,7 +338,7 @@ LYNX_URL='@HOMEPAGE_URL@release/breakout LYNXDOCS_URL='$(LYNX_URL)/docs/' LYNXHELP_URL='$(LYNX_URL)/lynx_help/' -@LYNXCFG_MAKE@$(CFG2HTML) : +@LYNXCFG_MAKE@$(CFG2HTML) &: @LYNXCFG_MAKE@ @echo 'Making htmlized lynx.cfg' @LYNXCFG_MAKE@ cd $(SRC_DIR) && $(MAKE_RECUR) LYReadCFG.i @LYNXCFG_MAKE@ @-rm -f $(CFG2HTML) ----------- Not sure whether it is upstreamable, since &: is a probably a GNU-make-ism. cu Andreas
