Description Petr Muller 2011-09-23 18:28:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
We rebuild papi in some of our tests, and to save time, we use parallel build: make -j4, because most of the beaker boxes have multiple cores. With papi-4.1.3-3.el6, this started to fail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
papi-4.1.3-3.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
$

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -Uhv papi-4.1.3-3.el6.src.rpm
2. rpmbuild -bp ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/papi.spec
3. pushd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/papi-4.1.3/src
4. ./configure
5. make -j4
  
Actual results:
(...)
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../libpapi.a', needed by `papi_avail'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/papi-4.1.3/src/utils'
make[1]: *** [utils] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/papi-4.1.3/src'
make: *** [/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/papi-4.1.3/src/libpfm-3.y/lib/libpfm.a] Err

Expected results:
successful build

Additional info:

I'm aware this is pretty minor thing. However, parallel build was possible with previous src.rpm. If this is easily fixable, I would like this to go in. Certainly not worth a respin on its own, though.
Comment 1 William Cohen 2011-09-26 21:26:49 UTC 
Found the problem still existed in upstream papi. I took a look at the makefiles and found that some of the dependencies were not correct. Proposed patch at:

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-10-07 16:03:02 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 3 Michal Nowak 2011-10-10 09:15:50 UTC 
William, I suggest you add %{?_smp_mflags} to make in spec file, as Fedora Packaging Guidelines suggest: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Parallel_make.

Build log

William,

Here is the build log of the parallel make failure in a dual Intel Xeon E5520 system.

Source RPM: papi-4.2.1-0.20120208.src.rpm from the Fedora 16 scratch builds are at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3773144

Comment 7 William Cohen 2012-02-09 20:53:22 UTC 
There are some missing variables in the Makefile posted a patch on the mailing list:

Comment 9 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2012-02-09 23:17:01 UTC 
papi-4.2.1-0.20120209.fc16.src.rpm with the Makefile.inc patch (papi-make-parallel.patch) built without problems in the dual CPU system.


There is a warning about the the dynamic libraries though:

Comment 14 William Cohen 2012-09-24 20:28:45 UTC 
papi-5.0.1-2 should address this issue. papi is now normally being built with:

make %{?_smp_mflags}
