SuiteSparse - 3.3.0 - initial compile fails

[jameskyle@…]

I have noticed this over the last couple of months of ports development. SuiteSparse *always* fails on the first compile attempt, but if I restart the install it succeeds without error.

I wish I could provide more information, but the fact that it succeeds the second time makes it a bit difficult:

In the future, please set the port field and assign tickets to the port's maintainer.

Replying to macsforever2000@…:

Will do.

The fact that it succeeds the second time may be spurious. E.g., if a partial .lib file is being created, /usr/bin/make will be satisfied that the target is up to date, but it may be missing some compilation units.

I've verified that it "works for me", but please, as discussed in email, try building with -dv so we can get to whatever the actual error is. Also would be helpful to know more about what hardware and OS version you're on.

[blb@…]

Definitely looks like a parallel build issue, setting use_parallel_build no gets it to build on the first try. Note that if you aren't seeing this, MacPorts 1.7 disables parallel building by default but trunk enables it, which may explain why some see it and some don't.
