trying to compile aldor

[Andrey G. Grozin]

Hello *,

I'm trying to compile the current aldor from github.com/aldorlang/aldor
on Gentoo linux and I get

Any ideas how to proceed?

By the way, to generate documentation, configure wants fig2eps. Is it this
script?

Thanks in advance,

I don't see any concrete errors in the log below. But it seems to me
that you are running make with multiple parallel jobs (-jX), and some of
them failed. I've noticed that the build can run into trouble with -j. I
would recommend to try again with just one job, i.e. just "make" or
"make -j1". It must be that some dependencies are not properly taken
care of.

Best wishes,
Tobias

First of all, this is fricas-devel. You should have directed you
question to <aldor...@googlegroups.com>. So I repost there.

Aldor should compile fine with -j N. There must be some other problem in
the middle. Try to compile with -j1, then you will better see what the
actual error message is.
