[SOLVED] Some installations from AUR fail.

Krasauskas · 2019-02-19 16:36:58

This the what I'm getting while trying to install pacaur:

I've tried searching for "make: *** unknown output-sync type '3'. Stop." and vpath, but couldn't find anything useful. Any pointers are appreciated!

EDIT: this is my makepkg.conf after removing the flags from everything except for MAKEFLAGS:

Please use code tags and show us your ~/makepkg.conf.

MAKEFLAGS = -j9 -march=skylake -O3 -pipe

Why are you setting '-march=skylake -O3 -pipe' in MAKEFLAGS, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS?

Indeed, the consequences of this are passing the following make options:

  -b, -m                      Ignored for compatibility.
make: invalid option -- 'a'
  -r, --no-builtin-rules      Disable the built-in implicit rules.
make: invalid option -- 'c'
  -h, --help                  Print this message and exit.
make: invalid option -- '='
  -s, --silent, --quiet       Don't echo recipes.
  -k, --keep-going            Keep going when some targets can't be made.
make: invalid option -- 'y'
  -l [N], --load-average[=N], --max-load[=N]
                              Don't start multiple jobs unless load is below N. # no argument, removes previous load average
make: invalid option -- 'a'
  -k, --keep-going            Keep going when some targets can't be made. # again
  -e, --environment-overrides
                              Environment variables override makefiles.

  -O[TYPE], --output-sync[=TYPE]
                              Synchronize output of parallel jobs by TYPE. # with type="3"

  -p, --print-data-base       Print make's internal database.
  -i, --ignore-errors         Ignore errors from recipes.
  -p, --print-data-base       Print make's internal database. # again
  -e, --environment-overrides
                              Environment variables override makefiles. # again

This is a lot of strange arguments to GNU make, of which multiple are completely incompatible with actually running make, like the --help flag or --print-data-base.

I found lots of useful results for the first error message, they all implied that output-sync is a command-line argument being passed to the "make" command.

Thank you! This is now solved. Turns out, AUR packages break with anything but the standard makepkg.conf. Removing all the MAKEFLAGS was the trick.

No AUR packages should not break with valid MAKEFLAGS or other makepkg.conf changes as long as the flags are valid.
eschwartz already covered what the flags you passed to make cause it to do. You added flags to CPPFLAGS that are pointless in preprocessing.
Makepkg#Building_optimized_binaries
Makepkg#Parallel_compilation

AUR packages will also fail to build correctly if you try to build them by writing their names down on a piece of paper, wadding it into a ball, and firing it out of a potato gun. But then, no one ever claimed a potato gun is useful for building AUR packages.

Likewise, no one ever claimed that GCC compiler command-line options are also valid GNU MAKE command-line options... so why did you try to do so anyway?
