#11012: jam -j fails ----------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: Anarchos | Owner: bonefish Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Unscheduled Component: Build System | Version: R1/Development Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 ----------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by anevilyak): I've run into something similar before, and I believe the behavior being described essentially boils down to: multi-job build is downloading a package with the intent of extracting it. Meanwhile, another parallel build step fails (i.e. a source file with a compilation error due to an incorrect commit). As such, the package gets downloaded but not extracted, but seemingly, the destination folder for it has been created. The latter's existence appears to be the dependency the build system relies on to know whether to download/extract the package, and consequently that step is skipped entirely without extracting the package at all, leading to a later build failure due to missing headers or whatnot from said build package. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/11012#comment:2> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
