Hello,
The symptom of this problem is that if the build fails, quickly fixing
the issue and rerunning the build will just fail again very early with
an error message like this:
make[1]: *** [/cygdrive/d/java/ws/dev/make/Init.gmk:290: main] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/d/java/ws/dev'
make: *** [/cygdrive/d/java/ws/dev/make/Init.gmk:185:
java.base-only] Error 2
The fix is rather simple. There is a cleanup call to stop the sjavac
server background process in Init.gmk, but it's only run on successful
builds and not in the "on-failure" routine. Adding the call to the
on-failure routine fixes the issue. While at it I also added the build
time report since I have missed not having it there on failures many times.
