As reported in Debian #846770 [1], gridengine fails to build if trying with 64 threads. The problem turns out to be some undeclared prerequisites for the pdc target. The attached patch fixes it for me. The patch is against the v8.1.9 code base.

Thanks and regards Afif

source-dependencies.patch​

This is Debian #875404: From the Java9 pitfalls page linked below, I think the problem in SGE has to do with using -source 1.5 when building the Java component.

~ Source: gridengine Version: 8.1.9+dfsg Severity: normal User: debian-java@… Usertags: default-java9

This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk. Please fix it, so that we can start the transition to Java 9. The wiki has some common problems and their solutions: ​https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls

sun.rmi, sun.management packages seem to have gone. They're not on the list of things moved to modules, but maybe they have been!

Note that without ant 1.9.9-5 UNRELEASED you won't see this error.

The next Debian release is expected to have OpenSSL 1.1.

Gridengine fails to build as a result of some of the API changes: <​https://breakpoint.cc/openssl-1.1-rebuild-2016-05-29/Attempted/gridengine_8.1.8%2Bdfsg-6_amd64-20160529-1424>

The Debian bug report is at <​https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827076>, where you can find more information. There is a wiki page from OpenSSL describing what the API changes are: <​https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/1.1_API_Changes>
