Continue compiling if it's stopped

How To
1

I’m compile Komodo IDE 9 and my PC just rebooted when I compile libxul.so (it’s caused by small size of RAM). Can I continue compiling if it’s stopped? If can - how to do?

hey Defman,

You should be able to run

python build.py all

and it will try to pickup where it left off.

If that doesn’t work though you’ll have to use

python build.py distclean all

It’s probably faster to mv mozilla/build aside, start your new build and then rm the old build folder while the new build runs.

Thanks, @careyh! I’m try to do this :smile:

It’s give me this:

target: patch mozilla from ['patches-new']
apply 'autoupdate_base_dir.patch'
can't find file to patch at input line 15
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

It’s a fatal error or not?

Did you try python build distclean all yet?

If that’s what happens when you tried to restart the build, it may not be able to recover. You could try looking at the patch file and see what it’s referring to here:

No I did not. I’m get this error when run python build.py all. I’m try to python build distclean all later :smile:
I’m look into this patch…
I can’t view this patch cuz it’s created in /tmp/ and removed after error. I’m try python build distclean all later (tomorrow).

Note depending on what part of the build process you interrupted it may not be able to resume building. Aborting during patches is generally a bad time and will result in a corrupt build, you should restart your build with python build.py distclean all.

I know that I must start rebuild and I can’t continue my last. @careyh already say it.

Just providing context.
