netpbm fails a parallel build

[jjstickel@…]

a parallel build on Tiger (10.4.11) with recent XCode and Macports failed with the following:

gcc-4.0 -no-cpp-precomp -c -O3 -I/opt/local/include -o libopt.o \-DSHLIBPREFIXLIST="\"lib\"" \            \        libopt.c

Not allowing a parallel build resolved the problem. I have attached a diff to the portfile.

Indeed, it fails for me now too on a dual-core MacBook Pro. This is unfortunate since I enabled the parallel build in r38586. I don't enable the parallel build in ports if I haven't tested it... but that's the fun thing about parallel builds -- they can work sometimes and then fail other times.

I disabled the parallel build in r40029. The authors of netpbm should still be informed about this problem in their software.

I sent an email to developer Bryan Henderson (there is no bug tracker or mailing list).

Bryan responded saying he would fix it:

Subject: Re: netpbm fails parallel build

I have added dependencies so a parallel make should work in 
current releases in a few days.

Marcus re-enabled the parallel build in r43004 but this caused problems again; see #17516.
