[Slackbuilds-users] qt5 5.5.1 fails to build with multiple jobs

[Andrzej Telszewski]

Hi,

I'm on Slackware-current and SBo master.

I'm trying to build qt5 and it fails with the following error:

[6/10258] CXX 
obj/src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/protobuf/src/google/protobuf/compiler/protobuf_full_do_not_use.parser.o
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

make: *** [module-qtwebengine-make_first] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Please note that it's most certainly not the exact place where the build 
failed for the first time, as I tried single job make in the leftover 
source tree.

Single job make seems to resume the build (it's ongoing at the moment).

Any ideas on what might be the problem?

It looks like ninja is only used for the build of chromium, but I might 
be wrong on that.
