Re: JDK builds,
The new parallel make is wonderfully fast (thank you) but less great
when it comes to figuring out why a build failed, especially when you
don't have full access to the build machine, as is the case with
"build servers", where you get the build log, and the product bits if
the build is successful.
I finally figured out a tip and wonder if it would be worth adding
this to the end of the build.
If the build fails, grep through the log looking for lines containing
the text "recipe for .* failed".
Would it be possible to have the build report any such lines in the
summary at the end of the log?
Good idea!
I think it would be even better to grep for "Error 2" and include some
context before that line; in my experience that gets you closer to the
actual error.
But as Erik says, it will need some experimentation.
