build fail using --HEAD

[cyberbryce]

The 0.2 release installs correctly, but I ran into this failure compiling the prerelease version of julia using --HEAD. I upgraded homebrew and reinstalled gfortran and the other dependencies, and tried it with --64bit and without. These changes had no effect; it looks like the error is related to the documentation:

Cloning into 'doc/juliadoc'...
Checking connectivity... done
Submodule path 'doc/juliadoc': checked out '300b72cd13fe9b54b938a0b49416e4d860181d0f'
make[1]: *** [julia-release] Error 2
make: *** [release] Error 2

I worry that it leads to endless headaches to install prereleases right before a new release, but I do find some of the changes since 0.2 to be important to my project.

I ran into this problem yesterday as well; thank you for reporting, I'll document my progress here.

I have been experiencing a similar problem, however the error message is different:

make[2]: *** [openspecfun/Makefile] Error 1
100 84226  100 84226    0     0  66123      0  0:00:01  0:00:01 --:--:--  247k

make[1]: *** [julia-release] Error 2
make: *** [release] Error 2

Initially, I thought the problem had to do with some lock files already existing in my cache, which was complained about in the log: http://cl.ly/Tdzy/julia_log.txt

The problem persisted after I had removed Homebrew's cache folder from my system using rm -rf $(brew --cache). The log of this failed attempt may be found at http://cl.ly/TdkY/julia_log2.txt

Yes, I believe this is the same root cause. We recently changed up how
Julia deals with her git files, and my old hack to get around Homebrew not
passing around the .git folder doesn't seem to be working anymore. I
hope to get to this in the next couple of days.

The problem seems to be related to lock files

Actually, I think I've managed to institute a fix, please clear your cached julia .git folders (a rm -rf $(brew --cache)/julia--git should do the trick) and try again.

Note that I am running into segfaults during build that I haven't figured out yet. They don't happen outside of Homebrew, so I'm pretty sure I'm screwing something up somewhere.

Elliot's fix has worked for me over several updates now. Not hearing otherwise I'll tentatively close this.
