[Libreoffice] idlc/gbuild baddness and leaked /tmp files...

[Norbert Thiebaud]

Recently my MacOSX tinderbox started to die for weir reason... (too
many open pipe, etc)

as it turned out there was massive leakage fo file in the temp
directory with each build.. 150 or so per build... after a while
mktemp was running out of filename and working very-very hard to find
an empty slot.

Need doubled dollarsign here it seems for this to actually work as intended

process more idl files at once - second part: makefiles

solved the problem.

Note that the fact that the tempfiles where leaked is bad, but equally
bad is the fact that we needed so many of theses....

in anycase, I'm enclined to revert for now... because, as is, I need
to keep the tinderbox offline...
(the problem became apparent sooner on the Mac box, but eventually I
would have gotten in trouble on Linux too.
These box go through 20-50 build cycle a day ... so few hundred leaked
tempfiles per iteration accumulate quickly...)

PS: osl's qa is also leaking a /tmp/<random/hello/world at each build
