[erlang-bugs] Erlang make problem:

[Stein, Martin]

I am trying to compile OTP R12B on a 64-bit Suse Linux virtual machine
(VMWare). Somewhere in the HIPE compilation erlc crashes with a problem
in the OS high resolution timer. Running make again (and again) finally
compiles all the files. There seems to be a timing problem somewhere
that people also reported when starting "cean erlang", that may be
related. I have not found a solution to the problem other than trying
again. It finally works but doesn't inspire confidence. 

 

Below some information about the crash. The erl_crash.dump file is
available on request (it is quite large).

 

$ uname -a

Linux vowng1 2.6.16.46-0.12-smp #1 SMP Thu May 17 14:00:09 UTC 2007

$ make

erlc -W  +debug_info +warn_obsolete_guard -I../include -o../ebin
hipe_unified_loader.erl

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump

Thanks!
