#7651: Buiding GHC with parallel IO manager freezes on Mac (not on FreeBSD) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: Type: bug | Status: infoneeded Priority: high | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by George): Replying to [comment:12 kazu-yamamoto]:
Which does "fail" mean, freeze (non stopping) or stop with an error? I believe, at the time, I meant with an error as described in #8620. As I've just elaborated there, I believe the case for me was that I encountered this without touching any files after typing 'make', which, according to the wiki, is probably a bug in the build system. In any case I haven't seen this in a long time. I just build 7.10.2 rc with make -j5 and had no problems.
