Bug 140171 – [WebKitGTK 2.4.7] Build freezes when using multiple jobs in parallel

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Philip Chimento]

When building WebKitGTK 2.4.7 with "make -j5", it freezes at a certain point:

Freezes after

  CXXLD    libWebCoreSVG.la
...
...
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libWebCoreSVG.a(libWebCoreSVG_la-CachedSVGDocumentReference.o) has no symbols
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libWebCoreSVG.a(libWebCoreSVG_la-JSSVGZoomAndPan.o) has no symbols
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libWebCoreSVG.a(libWebCoreSVG_la-CachedSVGDocumentReference.o) has no symbols
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libWebCoreSVG.a(libWebCoreSVG_la-JSSVGZoomAndPan.o) has no symbols

When building with "make -j1", it does not freeze. I suspect there's a missing dependency of one target on another.

I don't see this.  Can you take a spindump?

I don't get it anymore on 2.4.9, so this can probably be closed.

Although I do get a different build failure which I didn't get the last time I build 2.4.9 (probably on OSX 10.9 or 10.10, this is now on 10.11.)

In file included from Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSGlobalObject.cpp:100:
./Source/JavaScriptCore/API/ObjCCallbackFunction.h:32:9: fatal error: 
      'JavaScriptCore/JSCallbackFunction.h' file not found
#import <JavaScriptCore/JSCallbackFunction.h>
        ^

To fix, I changed line 32 of Source/JavaScriptCore/API/ObjCCallbackFunction.h to
#import <JSCallbackFunction.h>

Is this known to anyone else or should I open a new bug for it?
