We patch your sources mainly because[1], I will be happy to stop autoreconf your
packages, but cannot do this until this and other issues are resolved.

[1]
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-libs/libgcrypt/files/libgcrypt-1.5.0-uscore.patch?revision=1.1&view=markup

OK, someone already tried to solve it at your side:

tests/Makefile.am

  1. Force sequential run of some tests. bench-slope.log: benchmark.log hashtest-256g.log: bench-slope.log

However, from automake manual:

In order to guarantee an ordering between tests even with make -jN, dependencies
between the corresponding .log files may be specified through usual make
dependencies. For example, the following snippet lets the test named
foo-execute.test depend upon completion of the test foo-compile.test:

TESTS = foo-compile.test foo-execute.test
foo-execute.log: foo-compile.log

Please note that this ordering ignores the results of required tests, thus the
test foo-execute.test is run even if the test foo-compile.test failed or was
skipped beforehand. Further, please note that specifying such dependencies
currently works only for tests that end in one of the suffixes listed in
TEST_EXTENSIONS.

Removing the above makes all works in parallel without specific order, which is
nice... unsure why the above was added when there is no real dependency, and
prior to automake-1.13 there was no parallel anyway.

Because that automake version is not supported. automake is a maintainer tool
and not a build dependency. If Gentoo has its own policy they are on their own

  • it is free software. The tarball release does not have this problem. Or am I

wrong? GIT is developer only and definitely not a release.

why do you close issues so fast?

"""can you please seek the proper solution?"""

means that I ask to fix build to have proper dependencies between tests to allow
serial or parallel execution. this will work in any version.

werner added a comment to T1607: libgcrypt parallel tests automake>=1.13 issue.

Thist patch does not work because the serial-tests flag is not supported by
older automake versions. The problem has already been discussed at the mailing
lists. See README.GIT on how to use a non-broken automake. I still hope the
utomake folks solve the problem by changing the default. Forcing all projects
to use the new and incompatible parallel tests was a very unpleasant behaviour
of them.

Sorry for being ignorant, but I don't even know what gpgsm is... ;-)

I'm just using the "classical" gpg since it came into life (being a PGP user for
more than 20 years now)...

But since gpgsm seems to use a separate directory for the private keys it's fine
for me as well -- I will then mount that directory as an encrypted one...
