I've had a number of failures attempting to build things, but on several occasions builds have failed with what looks like may be threading / subprocess synchronization issues. I'm running 9.0-RELEASE on a 4-processor amd64 system w/ 16GB.
For example, an attempt to build openoffice-3 failed building package textproc/redland when a dependent package build couldn't find some doc pages. It was trying to build textproc/rasqal and looking for what I think was the open-motif library and couldn't find it because the (open-motif?) install failed because of the doc pages issue. Rerunning "make install" at the openoffice-3 level still failed at the same point. Going to the dependent text package and doing a make install claimed the package was already installed. "make deinstall" and "make clean install" solved the issue. I'm a little fuzzy on the details because I don't have the build output, and used two different windows, one to build and another to check status using pkg_info, etc. Backing up in the command history I have this, which resulted in a complete build: cd openoffice-3 make original failure due to missing doc files make -v install repeated the same failure cd ../../textproc/redland attempt to build dependent pkg redland make clean make -v install failed on dependent pkg rasqal cd ../rasqal make deinstall begin of successful build of rasqal make clean make install cd ../../textproc/redland make install begin of successful build of redland cd ../../editors/openoffice-3 make install resume & successful build of openoffice-3 The original error seems like a synchronization problem between the subprocesses doing the builds. Is anyone else seeing this kind of behavior?
