Hello everyone,
We are using Gnu Make 4.1 from a somewhat recent installation of
msys2 as part of a very large build system.
We are periodically seeing:
make: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
We don't know the specific conditions to reproduce the mesasge,
yet.
This message appears to be produced by the msys2 runtime library.
It corresponds to EAGAIN.
Because I haven't figured out how to get the sources for Make into
my local msys2 installation, I've been looking at the Make 4.1
sources on Linux. I can't find a reference to fork, and the code is
so heavily conditionalize it's really hard to read and figure out
what is supposed to happen if 'fork' failed.
So, I came here to ask:
On cygwin/msys, if this message is seen on the console, what
should I expect to happen?
Does make try again?
Does make immediately exit with a return code of 2?
Something else?
thanks,
thutt
