Compiling 1.7.3 on Ubuntu 22.04 stalls

General Usage
1

I have pulled the git repo and I’m trying to compile v1.7.3, but the process stalls here:

Sysimage built. Summary:
Total ───────  53.120629 seconds 
Base: ───────  22.231496 seconds 41.851%
Stdlibs: ────  30.887624 seconds 58.1462%
    JULIA usr/lib/julia/sys-o.a
Generating REPL precompile statements... 25/36

Then nothing happens. Any idea what could be going wrong?

Here’s the trace after ^C:

Update 1: No special flags, just ran “make clean” and “make”.

Update 2: I’m not a pro programmer, I never program in C, so there should be unusual env settings:

Are you using any specific compilers ?
Are you using any specific make flags ?

This path looks suspicious /workspace/srcdir/libuv/src/unix/epoll.c vs your sources located in /home/dabrowsa/lang/julia/julia/src: julia should build libuv (see deps/libuv.mk, deps/libuv.version) along all deps.

My build of 1.7.3 on 22.04 requires at least this PR https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/45649 for the tests to pass (see Build: failing `Float16` `intrinsics` on `1.6.6` or `1.7.2` on `ubuntu 22.04` · Issue #45433 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub).

3

The Makefile has this:

JL_PRIVATE_LIBS-$(USE_SYSTEM_LIBUV) += libuv

Should I change something here?

4

USE_SYSTEM_LIBUV default to 0 ( see julia/Make.inc at dbae5a50e506f05a4d4f2f3471c76291e5252df4 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub), so normally no.

We need more information on how you build julia. Try to inspect you environment variables for potential conflicts.

EDIT 1: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/lib/llvm this is likely to conflict with the llvm build of julia.

EDIT 2: WARNING: Error during initialization of module LinearAlgebra: this is not what I’d call succeed :slight_smile: .

why？

7

I think @jling was implicitly asking: why bother compiling julia, as the recommended way of obtaining julia is to use official binaries available at Download Julia ?

8

Well, at least the compilation complete without an Error.

9

It’s the latest stable branch

10

yes, it is, but why are YOU compiling it instead of get 1.7.3 from download page?

11

Oh, that’s news to me, I’ve been following Julia for about 10 years and it’s always been recommended to compile it yourself.

12

no f way… Create getting-started.md · JuliaLang/www.julialang.org@b2e11b5 · GitHub

it has been at least 3 years and I suspect it’s much longer than that since people recommend download official binary no matter what

13

That said, it really should compile properly.

Well, they didn’t send me the memo.
