I'm working on swabber support, and as part of that need to enable running builds in strace. The code for this is in josh's poky-contrib.
For anyone else who is looking at this, various packages failed to build with -jN (with N>1). My theory is that running these builds under strace changes the build timing and exposes existing parallel build problems that don't normally show themselves. To address this, I had to modify various recipes to set PARALLEL_MAKE = "" for various packages. The following packages had to be modified: # modified: meta/recipes-connectivity/openssl/openssl.inc # modified: meta/recipes-core/eglibc/eglibc_2.12.bb # modified: meta/recipes-core/glib-2.0/glib-2.0_2.24.1.bb # modified: meta/recipes-core/libxml/libxml2.inc # modified: meta/recipes-core/readline/readline.inc # modified: meta/recipes-core/util-linux/util-linux.inc # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils.inc # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/bison/bison_2.4.2.bb # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/cmake/cmake.inc # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/elfutils/elfutils_0.148.bb # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-common.inc # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/m4/m4_1.4.13.bb # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/opkg/opkg.inc # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/pkgconfig/pkgconfig.inc # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/prelink/prelink_git.bb # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu.inc # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu_0.12.4.bb # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/quilt/quilt.inc # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/rpm/rpm_5.1.10.bb # modified: meta/recipes-devtools/tcltk/tcl_8.5.8.bb # modified: meta/recipes-support/beecrypt/beecrypt_4.1.2.bb # modified: meta/recipes-support/curl/curl_7.21.0.bb # modified: meta/recipes-support/gmp/gmp.inc # modified: meta/recipes-support/libmpc/libmpc_0.8.2.bb # modified: meta/recipes-support/libxslt/libxslt_1.1.26.bb # modified: meta/recipes-support/lzo/lzo_2.03.bb # modified: meta/recipes-support/popt/popt_1.16.bb # The only really concerning ones were eglibc and gcc. We can't set PARALLEL_MAKE="" for these as these are very large, and builds would be very slow. Packages like popt don't matter as much, you don't save that much time by building them with -j16. Josh and I are trying to figure out how to address these. Swabber support is coming soon! - A _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
