Hello,
Just a quick word to say that groff-1.22.3 does not compile with make
-j8 (number of cores counted by nproc on my system: make -j$(nproc) ).
it build fine with -j1
This package has not changed in quite some time (November 2014). I build it
regularly at -j8 or -j10 and have never run into a problem. Perhaps you have
run into a corner case.
We do say in Section 4.5:
In some cases, the make step will simply fail. Analyzing the output of the
build process will also be more difficult because the lines of different
processes will be interleaved. If you run into a problem with a build step,
revert back to a single processor build to properly analyze the error messages.
I'd like to get corroboration of the issue from another user before changing
the book.
Bruce, do you use jhalfs for building this? The default is to disable -jN for
groff (the list of packages for which parallelization is disabled is in
<jhalfs-dir>/optimize/opt_config). That may explain why you see nothing.
OK, I'll update the book for that.
