IIRC the previous snapshot did. So presumably this one does too? Jens

The snapshot source distribution has now been updated to include the file mk/package.mk which was missing the first time around.

Thanks.

Btw, does ghc build with "make -j2"? I tried building the snapshot just now with it but got a make error at some point. I forget to save the build log, but I can easily fire up another build if you want to see it.

It *mostly* worked for me a month or so ago. I did a single-processor make until I saw it had started on ghc/compiler, and then hit ^C and did make -j2 in ghc/compiler. This worked fine, and then I continued the make with one processor for the rest. Presumably the same trick would work in hslibs/. I think there's some setup that depends on implicit ordering, but once it gets going in a directory it's all fine. --KW 8-)
