RE: make -jN loops on Windows

2013-08-28 Thread Simon Peyton-Jones
I tried make -j2, which locked up. sh validate used -j but I'm not sure with what N. It's tantalising if it worked for you! And it worked fine on my old Win7 laptop. Where did you get your mingw/msys installation from? I got mine from http://www.mingw.org/, using the download installer

Actually this is 64-bit Linux. However I found that my build.mk might have been an old one, since it's hand-written. I'll try again, starting from build.mk.sample. Simon | -Original Message- | From: Austin Seipp [mailto:ase...@pobox.com] | Sent: 27 August 2013 18:40 | To: Simon

Hi! I have a hint of what could be wrong. I looked through my configuration and saw that I used integer-simple. When I changed it to integer-gmp it blew up with -j4 (it didn't hang though, it errored out in the linking phase). The build went fine after I reran without -j. Niklas 2013/8/28
