This patch allows me to build NSS by parallel.

Have not tried, I use it for building trunk with in-tree nss.

Seems like it doesn't work for standalone NSS :(

Honza, do you build on Linux or Windows? Which build failures do you get? I guess it could be adapted for standalone NSS.

I'm using following build commands: OS_TARGET=WINNT BUILD_OPT=1 cd mozilla/security/nss pymake nss_build_all (-j9) win7, 1.6.1 mozilla-build, using VC10. pymake nss_build_all: following non-critical errors, the build actually succeeds!: Error executing command ../../config/./now [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified Error executing command ../../config/./now [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified Error executing command ../../config/./now [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified Error executing command ../../config/./now [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified Error executing command ../../../config/./now [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified Error executing command ../../../config/./now [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified pymake nss_build_all -j9: build fails and see the attachment for a complete log build (win stdout)

This is a more elaborate version, which doesn't need any nss change, and that prepares things for bug 648407.

Comment on attachment 710209 [details] [diff] [review] Allow mostly parallel build of NSS Must have forgotten to fold something in this patch...

This passes try ; i'll send another try with PGO enabled, though.

Only changes some variable names.

Sorry for the noise ; added a comment about the private_export thing.

Just changed paths for the DLLs (dist/bin instead of dist/lib)

Comment on attachment 711316 [details] [diff] [review] Allow mostly parallel build of NSS Review of attachment 711316 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- I assume your intention is to remove these workarounds once real fixes land? I don't love this, but the payoff is nice. Hopefully the NSS build system will be improved and we won't have to work around it so much.
