Whether you use -P2 or P4.
That is a wrong conclusion (unfortunately - I'd be happy if it really was a parallel build issue, then it would be rather easy to fix), but it is not a parallel build issue in that case. When you specify -Px to build, it tells build to build multiple modules (that don't depend on each other) in parallel. Packaging the installsets is the very last module that is to be built, nothing is run in parallel at that stage, since the installer needs everything else, so it doesn't matter what you specify. Whether it breaks or not depends on solar winds or temerature or whatever (just as the i18npool problem, this happens from time to time). regcomp just is broken in a way that it sometimes doesn't work and will cause those breakers. I observed that when you compile cpputools with debug=true, the break in instsetoo_native will less likely occur (in fact, I let the tinderbox rebuild cpputools with debug=true when the build fails in instsetoo_native and then let it build instsetoo_native again, before that I just let it try 5 times or so) ciao Christian -- NP: Evanescence - Sweet Sacrifice --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
