Build Rmath takes forever

[baggepinnen]

I seem to have issues building Rmath. After having waited several minutes after the output
INFO: Building Rmath and interrupting the process, I get the following stack trace. Is this supposed to take several minutes or is something wrong?

Could you try:

cd(joinpath(Pkg.dir("Rmath"),"deps"))
include("build.jl")

[baggepinnen]

No luck, it's the line
libRmath = library_dependency("libRmathjulia", aliases=["libRmath-julia"], validate = validate_Rmath)
that stalls, if that helps

[simonbyrne]

Can you post the stack trace from when you cancelled it?

[baggepinnen]

It's the stacktrace from the first post, I cancel it at the line ^CERROR (unhandled task failure): InterruptException:

@tkelman Any ideas?

[tkelman]

Try Pkg.pin("BinDeps", v"0.6.0"). If that works, we revert JuliaPackaging/BinDeps.jl#277 and close the corresponding base PR that's proposing to delete the old code that didn't freeze, unless Jameson can fix the new code.

[baggepinnen]

That did the trick!

INFO: No packages to install, update or remove

julia> Pkg.build("Rmath")
WARNING: No working GUI backend found for matplotlib
INFO: Building Rmath

Thanks a lot, this has been bugging me for a while!

[vtjnash]

@tkelman This is a bug in Julia. Please don't revert an unrelated bugfix in reaction. Will JuliaLang/julia#22886 be backported soon? I believe that should fix the issue.

[tkelman]

BinDeps 0.7.0 should then have a minimum version requirement of julia 0.6.1

[tkelman]

given the old code works on released versions of julia and the new code doesn't, it should still be reverted for those versions of julia subject to the bug

[simonbyrne]

This should be fixed now: please reopen if not fixed by Pkg.update().
