Trying to emerge kcontact into kde, which requires qtwebengine.
Anyone else having a problem doing that?
Brand new machine,
Been a bear to get Gentoo installed (think I'm about to reach completion, though).
When I get down to qtwebengine, it shows that 'ninja' failed to compile.
Will get all the data together tomorrow, but though I'd ask the 'obvious' question to see if I'm just the lucky one-

In most cases we had in the past it fails because of a too high MAKEOPTS in your /etc/portage/make.conf which leads to an OOM (out of memory).
How much RAM do you have in your system ? What is your MAKEOPTS value ?
(Of course there exists other reasons also; this is only the most probable)

To answer your query, I just installed kde-frameworks/kcontacts. It compiled and installed correctly without error on my machine.
We would definitely need more info about which package you are trying to install (i.e. kde-frameworks/kcontacts, kde-apps/kontact) as kcontact (singular) is not really a package name. I am assuming you meant the former.
It would be helpful to know what exact package you are referring to, the build log, emerge --info etc. The ninja output you are referring to is not probably the actual error. It is simply telling you the buiild system (ninja) failed to build the package at a certain point. The build log will give us info to help you troubleshoot. |

The box has 64GB ram, a 16-core 4.5GHz AMD Ryzen, and 44TB of storage. It is hoped to use eventually in our experimental network, but so far..... not sure.
Later-

OPS, forgot to answer the question...
MAKEOPTS is not defined in the /etc/portage/make.conf file. Is there a 'default' value for it, or is there a value it should normally be preset to?

You should set your MAKEOPTS, as you have quite a powerful system.
I set it to the number of threads I have, which on my cpu is also the number of cores, which is 4.

I set MAKEOPTS="-j8" and things all worked and installed correctly.
I had assumed that if I said 'emerge --jobs=8 ..." that would do the same thing, but apparently it doesn't.
One more thing I have learned about this system...

| emerge --jobs=8 can merge up to 8 packages in parallel, each of which is given a private copy of $MAKEOPTS. |

OK, so thats not the same as -j in make (or ninja).
