#9709: Make restarts itself sometimes, and that's OK -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I fairly frequently get the message that `make` has restarted itself {{{ ghc.mk:100: *** Make has restarted itself 2 times; is there a makefile bug? See http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Troubleshooting#Makehasrestart... for details. Stop. }}} but then when I say `make` again, things proceed just fine. In particular, this always (I think) happens after I `make clean` in the `libraries` directory. If it matters, I always use the `-j` flag to `make`, sometimes with 2 cores and sometimes with 4. I'm on Mac OS 10.8. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9709 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
