Hi, I often meet a problem related to C++ headers which are not found (despite existing)n often when bitbake starts compiling mysql & directfb. I tested on 2 build hosts (both with Core i7, one i686 ubuntu, one x64_64 Fedora) and manage to reproduce the problem easily with BB_NUMBER_THREADS=8 in both cases. The configuration is quite simple : angstrom setup script + beagleboard machine + bitbake qt4e-demo-image with PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j6" BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "8" Please find attached the 2 logs : - log1.txt (with one custom overlay containing a custom image) : mysql fails with | ../include/my_global.h:1516:15: fatal error: new: No such file or directory the file exists : build/tmp-angstrom_2010_x-eglibc/sysroots/beagleboard/usr/include/c++/new it seems that include/c++ is not in the header search path reducing BB_NUMBER_THREADS to 2 leads to the same kind of problem in libcgroup : | libcg_ba.cpp:18:18: fatal error: string: No such file or directory the file exists : build/tmp-angstrom_2010_x-eglibc/sysroots/beagleboard/usr/include/c++/debug/string => the only solution was to remove tmp and start again with a reduced BB_NUMBER_THREADS - log2.txt (plain oe-core + angstrom setup to remove the doubt of my overlay being the source of the problem) : directfb fails with mkdgifft.cpp:64:16: fatal error: list: No such file or directory the file exists : build/tmp-angstrom_2010_x-eglibc/sysroots/beagleboard/usr/include/c++/list here again, it seems that include/c++ is not in the header search path => I reduced BB_NUMBER_THREADS to 1 and launched again bitbake (build actually in progress). The workaround is to reduce BB_NUMBER_THREADS to <=4 which seems to never bring the problem (at least for a dozen of builds). Does anyone meet the same problem ? Any idea of what could be wrong here ? Thanks, Eric
