#910: --make should have a -j flag for parallel building -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Compiler | Version: 6.4.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: N/A | Blocked By: 8184 Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by rrnewton): Replying to [comment:43 parcs]:
I haven't tested `cabal` with my branch but I don't think my changes are causing the errors you're experiencing. I'm willing to bet that it's due to recent changes pushed to master. (Or maybe you forgot to do `git submodule update` after checking out my branch?)
I'm pretty sure I updated the submodules, but I'll do a fresh build to double check. Except for the excessive system-time the parallel make actually works for me, as long as I don't do `cabal -j`. I can even install packages with parallel GHC / non-parallel cabal. Could I get a fix on what other people who are testing this branch are seeing? Are you able to install packages with `cabal -j`? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/910#comment:45 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
