New submission from Paul Smith <p...@mad-scientist.net>:
Maybe no one cares anymore, but I've discovered that if I run make with -j the installation sometimes fails with this error: install: mkdir /Users/build/.../dist/python/x86_64-darwin/lib: File exists I believe it's because the targets altbininstall and libainstall as well as $(DESTSHARED) ($(BINLIBDEST)/lib-dynload) all contain a for loop which tries to create $(LIBDIR). The makefile uses the install -d command to create directories and this command will fail if the directory already exists. I haven't investigated the full dependency chain but at least two of the above targets don't have a relationship that forces make to avoid running them both at the same time. Maybe a better solution would be to create a separate target like make-directories or something that creates all the directories and have the other targets depend on that one target. Or something. As it is, my MacOS builds fail about 1 in 5 times or similar. Interestingly my Linux builds never fail. Not sure if install works differently on Linux, or the timing is just different there. ---------- components: Build messages: 339078 nosy: madscientist priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python 2.7 build install fails intermittently with -j on MacOS type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36464> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
