--------------------------------------
Summary: cpp unit tests fail to build using multiple make jobs
Key: THRIFT-1829
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1829
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: C++ - Library
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: CentOS 6.3
Reporter: David Rennalls
Priority: Minor
If you attempt to build the cpp unit tests using 'make -j x' the build will
fail as there's a race between the unit test code targets depending on the
thrift-generated code targets. I think the real fix would be to use one of the
approaches described in the 'Multiple Outputs' section of the automake manual
(see
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Multiple-Outputs.html). I
experimented with one of them and it seemed to help but never got it quite
working. However an easier workaround is to simply disable parallel builds by
using the ".NOTPARALLEL" special target which forces make to run serially.
from http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Special-Targets.html
.NOTPARALLEL
If .NOTPARALLEL is mentioned as a target, then this invocation of make will be
run serially, even if the ‘-j’ option is given. Any recursively invoked make
command will still run recipes in parallel (unless its makefile also contains
this target). Any prerequisites on this target are ignored.
That's the approach I ended up taking as I'm short on time.
