Note that I opened a ticket about this (but with less information than in this thread): http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8102 -E On Tue, Aug 6, 2013 at 12:59 PM, Kazu Yamamoto wrote:

Hi Nicolas,

My guess is here: libraries/integer-gmp/configure generates "gmp.h". Building mkGmpDerivedConstants starts in parallel. Since "configure" takes time, "mkGmpDerivedConstants" is build before "gmp.h" is created.

How can we ensure that these two jobs are carried out sequentially?

I never determined how to fix this. Here's the notes I developed:

tl;dr For some reason, it seems gmp.h is not recognized as a dependency of mkGmpDerivedConstants.o

If I run

$ perl boot; ./configure; make -j4

I tend to see a build failure. Immediately running make -j4 again succeeds.

In the following snippet from the log, FILE=libraries/integer-gmp/mkGmpDerivedConstants/mkGmpDerivedConstants.c

{{{ "/usr/bin/gcc" -m64 -fno-stack-protector -Ilibraries/integer-gmp/gmp -Ilibraries/integer-gmp/mkGmpDerivedConstants/dist -c FILE -o libraries/integer-gmp/mkGmpDerivedConstants/dist/build/mkGmpDerivedConstants.o

Some 1677 lines later, I see the line

...

cp libraries/integer-gmp/gmp/gmpbuild/gmp.h libraries/integer-gmp/gmp/

Which is I suppose why make -j4 succeeds the second time around.

I also see

...

libraries/integer-gmp/mkGmpDerivedConstants/ghc.mk:20: libraries/integer-gmp/mkGmpDerivedConstants/dist/build/.depend.c_asm: No such file or directory

many lines above.

Hi,

I'm using GHC head (32bit) on Mac. Recently, building GHC head stops:

One more "make -j3" finishes the building. I'm sure that this does not happen before.

Are there any guys who get this problem?
