Description:
I'm using MacPorts on Mac OS X 10.4.11 on an Intel Mac and I'm trying to install the mysql5-devel port. This installs the development version of MySQL, 5.1.24-rc. I recently added "use_parallel_build yes" to the mysql5 and mysql5-devel portfiles, and added "buildmakejobs 2" to my macports.conf, which together tell Macports to add "-j2" to the "make" commands. MySQL 5.0.51a has no problems building and installing with -j2. MySQL 5.1.24-rc has no problems building with -j2, but the make install fails with this error:

Making install in mysql-test

How to repeat:
After configuring and building MySQL 5.1.24-rc, try to install it in parallel with "sudo make -j2 install"

Looking at the error a bit more, I'm also concerned that it's testing for the existence of a directory outside the destroot (test -z "/opt/local/mysql-test/ndb") and based on that, making a directory in the destroot (/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_databases_mysql5-devel/work/
mysql-5.1.24-rc/install-sh -d
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_databases_mysql5-devel/work
/destroot/opt/local/mysql-test/ndb"). I don't think it should look for a directory outside the destroot.

Strike my last. Of course "test -z" doesn't test for the existence of the directory; it tests whether the string has nonzero length.

Thank you for teh report.

Verified on Linux with `make install` and BUILD/compile-pentium-maxwith different error:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./std_data/funcs_1/* /Users/apple/Applications/mysql-5.1/mysql-test/std_data/funcs_1

Duplicate of bug #36646 really.

This was not the same as bug #36646; setting it to Can't Repeat.  If anyone gets it again in the future, please post the exact configure command and more details, and set this back to Open.

$ tar xzf mysql-5.1.26-rc.tar.gz

Thank you for the feedback.

I can not repeat the problem with version 5.1.28-rc. Please consider to upgrade.
