Bootstrap error when compiling julia master

General Usage
1

I compiled Julia days ago, and now after git checkout master and git pull it doesn’t work.

I tried make, then make clean, then make cleanall:

combinatorics.jl
error during bootstrap:
LoadError("sysimg.jl", 3, LoadError("Base.jl", 339, LoadError("combinatorics.jl", 1, ErrorException("syntax: \"<<\" is not a unary operator"))))

I can try once more, I doubt this matters, after:

what’s your git status. The error "syntax: \"<<\" is not a unary operator" strongly suggests that you have unresolved conflicts.

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 9 commits.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

Untracked files:

I’ll look into it. At least if could be a hint a a bug I had regarding to my PR… In the meantime I took a backup, git cloned JuliaLang, and compiled and it worked.

Should I git clone it directly or my github fork of it?

Well, since you are ahead of master, you have local changes and the error you see simply means that the change you made has error. What you should do depend on what you want to do. If you just want to disgard all change then you should just reset to the master. If you want to figure out what’s wrong you should read the error message and look at what is on that line.

And if the master branch on your fork is something to go with, yes you have a merge conflict that you need to resolve in base/combinatorics.jl https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/JuliaLang:f9ee161...PallHaraldsson:b9ea112#diff-b2612cdc2d66227fde2483b57ff9472206c73d39d6b814456624cf3ea0cb3eacR1
