Trying to build webkit-1.7.90 tarball with MAKEOPTS=-jN (N=3 in my case) fails with various errors...

I've also seen a different error complaining about WebKit-3.0.gir.

I can confirm that I always get this one with current trunk in both Debug and Release builds.

This is very unusual. The rule for this target is:


Programs/jsc$(EXEEXT): Programs/jsc-@WEBKITGTK_API_MAJOR_VERSION@$(EXEEXT)
    $(AM_V_GEN)cp -f Programs/jsc-@WEBKITGTK_API_MAJOR_VERSION@$(EXEEXT) Programs/jsc$(EXEEXT)
Programs_jsc_LDADD =
Programs_jsc_SOURCES =

Does this bug still exist when you do not pass "--disable-dependency-tracking" ?

I actually have dependency tracking enabled (the disable variant is added automatically by portage, so I just enable it in again):
[snip]
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking ... --enable-dependency-tracking
[/snip]

With '--disable-dependency-tracking' it would fail at first few targets...

[Priit Laes (IRC: plaes)]

Just an idea (sorry, bedtime):

$(AM_V_GEN)cp -f $(builddir)/Programs/jsc-@WEBKITGTK_API_MAJOR_VERSION@$(EXEEXT) $(builddir)/Programs/jsc$(EXEEXT)

Would be great if one of you who have this problem could confirm whether or not this fixes the issue.

Didn't work, apparently jsc hasn't yet been built :

sol webkit-1.7.90 # find . |grep jsc |egrep -v '.(Po|Plo|cpp|h)$'

If I disable WebKit2 build, jsc-3 is created but the build fails later on:

  CXXLD  Programs/jsc-3
  CXXLD  libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.la
  CXXLD  Libraries/libTestRunnerInjectedBundle.la

Could this whole issue be related with r108523 ?

Even more strangely, libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.la does exist:
WebKitBuild/tmp/Release/libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.la
WebKitBuild/tmp/Release/.libs/libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.la

It makes sense. libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.la was being built in parallel with whatever failed - and that thing that failed did not find it. If you try running make a second time it should work. Looks like we need to enforce a few more dependencies =(

Yes, I started a patch. Almost. There.

I'm not sure I got this right but it builds, at least.

Thanks for the patch. If this patch contains new public API please make sure it follows the guidelines for new WebKit2 GTK+ API. See http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/AddingNewWebKit2API

> I'm not sure I got this right but it builds, at least.

didn't work for me :(

[Alexandre Rostovtsev]

For what it's worth, here is the ugly workaround that I have been using.
I add the following to the root GNUmakefile.am:

all-built-sources-local: $(BUILT_SOURCES) autotoolsconfig.h

all-ltlibraries-local: GNUmakefile $(LTLIBRARIES)

all-programs-local: GNUmakefile $(PROGRAMS)

all-data-local: GNUmakefile $(DATA)


and then do

make -j5 all-built-sources-local
make -j5 all-ltlibraries-local
make -j5 all-programs-local
make -j5 WebKit-3.0.gir # or WebKit-1.0.gir for gtk2 builds
make -j5 all-data-local
make -j5

This hasn't failed yet in numerous build runs, although of course it's not suitable as a permanent solution.

There's a lot of stuff going on in this patch... Are these all required to fix this particular issue or is it just extra left over from experimentation?

This needs to include the EXE suffix.

I'm really suspicious of this. Libraries/libWebKit2APITestCore.la is already in webkit2_tests_ldadd, so there should already be an explicit dependency.

> Tools/GNUmakefile.am:41

Better call this libwebcoreinternals_sources or rename libwebcoreinternals_built_sources to webcoreinternals_built_sources and call this webcoreinternals_sources.

Why add webcore_internal_built_sources, when libwebcoreinternals_built_sources already exists?

Perhaps something is wrong with the way we've defined the convenience library. There is definitely a dependency already set up between the programs and library. Do you mind doing a verbose make dump for one of these failures?

Manually making the binaries depend on a convenience library that they explicitly link against seems very weird. Ifpossible, split out those parts of your patch into a different patch. I'd like to get the other fixes (that look great, by the way) committed and focus on the stuff that looks kind of hacky later.

I'm still astounded that this should be necessary. What build failure occurs when you omit them?

Ditto and you are missing the EXE suffix variable as well.

I've been looking at this bug from another perspective before I searched
the WebKit bugzilla. Strangely the error doesn't seem to exist with
GNU make 3.81. Investigating further I came across the following:

  http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30653

Applying either of the patches in that report on top of GNU make 3.82
and using the new version fixes the parallel build for me.

Maybe this really is a GNU make bug?

I can confirm that they fix this for me. Actually I run "make check" on GNU make CVS and the parallel build unit tests are failing, so there is indeed something wrong in GNU make (BTW neither of those patches fixes the GNU make unit tests so I guess something more has to be made)

thanks for this patch. I can confirm that now this bug is history

[Philippe Normand]

Ok let's close this then. Thanks a lot Thierry for digging out that 2 years old GNU Make patch. And let's hope it gets committed in their CVS one day :)

Maybe it is a gnu make bug, but those patches don't fix it. I am still getting a parallel make failure (with MAKEOPTS=-j9) after applying either of the two patches attached to the savannah.gnu.org bug report to gentoo's make-3.82-r3.

I therefore believe this bug should be reopened.

[Grzegorz Czajkowski]

Just one question. Is there any reason why this bug is added to WebKit-EFL component? I think it should be added to WebKit-Gtk :)

[Rion]

GNU Make patch make-intermediate-parallel-bug.patch also solved the problem for me.

tried to compile webkit-gtk-1.8.0
