Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Installation/Building Group: 2.3.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: John Bollinger (johnbollinger) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Python(/Perl?/Ruby?) build failure w/ parallel make Initial Comment: The instructions for compiling OpenBabel from source (http://openbabel.org/docs/2.3.0/Installation/install.html#compiling-open-babel) suggest using parallel make for increased speed when building on a multi-processor system. If the the Python bindings are being built, however, then parallel make may attempt to link the Python bindings before libopenbabel.so has been built. Needless to say, that fails, halting the build. Serial builds have never failed for me, and even a new parallel build may be able to pick up a run to completion after the first make dies, so there are work-arounds. It would nevertheless be better for the Makefiles to express a proper dependency on libopenbabel.so that prevents any attempt to build the Python extension first. Inasmuch as the Perl and Ruby bindings (at least) seem also to rely on libopenbabel.so, they may also be affected by this issue. I have not tested those yet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=428740&aid=3152165&group_id=40728 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ OpenBabel-Devel mailing list OpenBabel-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openbabel-devel
