Hi all, I've been struggling with a problem for several days now -- I'm unable to run configure without first deleting all my out-www directories and I can't finish "make web". Configure seems to hang forever on "checking for working metafont mode..." and make web hangs on bibtex.
So I did some experiments. With a clean lilypond directory: $ time mf-nowin -progname=mf "\mode:=ljfour; mode_setup; end." <snip output> real 0m0.332s user 0m0.160s sys 0m0.172s $ time bibtex /tmp/tmp7MOxiHbib2html # this is a file that was left over from my last "make web" run <snip output> real 0m0.402s user 0m0.188s sys 0m0.208s Now lets create some files: $ make -C Documentation/user web # Ctrl-C after a minute or so $ time mf-nowin -progname=mf "\mode:=ljfour; mode_setup; end." real 0m32.998s user 0m28.638s sys 0m4.336s $ time bibtex /tmp/tmp7MOxiHbib2html real 0m43.843s user 0m38.138s sys 0m5.552s If I do a full "make web" run, I can let either of these commands run for hours without terminating. If I remove Documentation/user/out-www then the times go back to normal. The problem doesn't seem to be related to the type of file in Documentation/user/out-www; I've tried doing things like $ rm Documentation/user/out-www/*.tex $ time mf-nowin -progname=mf "\mode:=ljfour; mode_setup; end." $ rm Documentation/user/out-www/*.png $ time mf-nowin -progname=mf "\mode:=ljfour; mode_setup; end." etc. and it doesn't seem to make a difference in which order I remove the different file types. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
