Help with a failed build

Four hours of building and then this:

…skipped haiku.image for lack of <HaikuImage>haiku.image-copy-files…
…skipped 4 target(s)…
…updated 7184 target(s)…

I don’t know what’s lacking. haiku.image-copy-files is there, 87506 bytes.

I did a new checkout of the code today. The previous version built fine and boots.
Where do I start with something like this?

Add "-q" to your jam command, then the build will stop at the first error so it is easier to find what the problem is. Like this:

jam -q haiku-image

I did. I just copied the command from .bash_history to make sure:

jam -q haiku-image

That’s one reason I’m so puzzled.

Strange - I haven’t seen that one yet.

Make sure you have all the source (do another svn co into the same directory just to be sure - i’ve seen it fail for no reason).

What OS/machine? - I’ve not seen 4 hours of building the Haiku image - even on my PIII 600 :stuck_out_tongue:

Success. I svn’d again and got:
U haiku/src/servers/app/Jamfile
U haiku/src/kits/interface/MenuBar.cpp
U haiku/data/system/boot/Netscript
Checked out revision 19434.

This built successfully. I 'time’d it this time:

real 179m24.523s
user 0m23.580s
sys 32m25.390s

So, three hours. I guess I exaggerated a bit.
My system is an AMD Thunderbird 900, 256 Meg ram, 300 meg swap running R5 Pro.

Now I’m off to do my dd trick.

Thanks for your help.

‘…skipped haiku.image for lack of <HaikuImage>haiku.image-copy-files…’

Hmm… for some reason I’ve started to get this error every time I build!!

For the life of me, I can’t understand what has gone awry with my setup. For weeks I have been building Haiku images without problem and now I have this one.

Am trying to build the latest revision, as I tried to do last night also to no avail.

Any pointers please :cry:

Maybe some of you noticed, but HaikuHost wasn’t building for about a week… I was getting the same error. I did my usual clean wipe and starting over trick, but even that didn’t work. After days of doing whatever I could think of, it finally worked.

It seemed to stop building around December 13th all of a sudden. This is a automated build, mind you, so there’s no reason on my end why it should’ve started failing. I don’t think anything was changed in the build system to cause it to fail, either.

Definitely a mystery. My advice is to post to the mailing list, or start from scratch. With some luck, you can get it building again.

Did a clean svn checkout. Sorted! :smiley:

This happened to me last night also (it had been a couple weeks since I last built)…

First build went awry, but when i did a second build using jam -q haiku-image it worked.

I noticed that the second time i built it, some extra targets got built that were missed during the first build - so I’m guessing there had been a missing dependency the first time.
