Occasionally, when building blead or a branch directly derived from blead, I experience a failure during 'make' at this point: ##### Writing tables Making pod file Making test script Updating 'mktables.lst' 1 error make: stopped in /usr/home/jkeenan/gitwork/perl ##### To simply be told that there was an error and that 'make' therefore stopped is not very informative. The first time this happened -- the two times I can recall were both on a FreeBSD 10.3 VM -- I then called 'make' and something that was clearly a syntax error eventually emerged. Today, when I called 'make' after the error message above, 'make' resumed and completed successfully -- i.e., no error and no indication why I 'make' stopped the first time through. I haven't been able to reproduce this error. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you very much. Jim KeenanThread Next
