1006275 - Spidermonkey31 build fails due to missing .deps/binaries.pp with make -j > 1

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[darkxst]

Currently standalone Spidermonkey 31 build fails due to missing binaries.pp

This file is in
js/src/.deps/binaries.pp

However the build scripts seem to be looking for it in
js/src/js/src/.deps/binaries.pp

Builds work if you do an out-of-source build.  I *was* able to make an in-source build work, once, yesterday; but I cannot reproduce that today (no matter how many different configurations I try).

For the (one) build attempt I had that worked, there was a .deps/binaries.pp in both js/src and js/src/js/src ...

I can't reproduce.

Comment 4

Per suggestion of glandoim on IRC last night, I tried this on m-c (checkout as of 10am EDT)..

If using parallel make (ie, "make -j6" is my usual), it fails the same way, however it will succeed with a "make -j1".


(i'll only back-handedly comment about how a build system update that's supposed to improve compilation times removes the ability to successfully build in parallel :P )

Updating bug description.  darkxst, could you confirm what MAKEOPTS you're using?  are you building parallel too?

Comment 5

[darkxst]

I am using the default jhbuild environment, which I believe sets -j to the number of available cores, so probably -j4 in my case.

Forcing -j1 does fix the build failures.

Comment 6

[Ian Stakenvicius]

So with 1007788 in the process of being landed, do we just want to backport that to aurora and treat this bug as closed?

Comment 7

[darkxst]

Seems reasonable to close, parallel builds out-of-source work fine here.

Comment 8

[darkxst]

actually no, building a clean out-of-source tree still fails when doing parallel build.

Comment 9

[Ian Stakenvicius]

moreinfo already provided so dropping the flag.  But codebases and build systems have evolved so far beyond this now the bug can likely be ignored.
