Re: [Msys2-users] Debugging undeterministic segfaults

[Gintautas M. <gin...@gm...>]

Hi David,

more messages means more progress on this issue, so fire away.

Your validate output looks reasonable, some tests are known to fail on
Windows.

I just verified that at least here the build seems to be stable with -j1:
40/40 builds were successful. Great! Now we know that something is up with
multithreaded make.

Thanks for pointing out that virus scanners could be an issue. I found that
Microsoft Security Essentials realtime scanning was on. I'll try disabling
it and see if that helps with the -j5 case.

> So that looks like another successful build. Unless "make" can ignore the
-j argument, I'd say the issue is caused or activated by your configuration.

I would be very happy if that were the case, but there were reports about
instabilities on msys2 from others too. Herbert wrote:

Herbert, were you running make with -jN, N >1?
