Comment (by boklm):

 Replying to [comment:12 mcs]:
 > Kathy and I successfully ran `make alpha_nightly` on an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
 system. Here is some quick feedback:

 Thanks for this feedback!

 > a) It would be nice to have log output that provided a "high level" view
 of progress (e.g., Building tor for Linux64, Building pluggable transports
 for Linux64, Building firefox for Linux64....) The old gitian-based build
 system does not do this very well either; maybe we should have two log
 files? Or something that is easy to grep for within the make output.

 Detailed logs of the build of each component are now written in files the
 logs directory, and we only print on the screen high level logs.

 for? Doing that is useful when creating test builds since it speeds up
 packaging time.

 I added a `testbuild` makefile target, which produce a build containing
 only the en-US bundle, without the mar files.

 > c) The resulting Linux build runs, but the OSX one does not (we did not
 yet try to run the Windows build). On OSX, libevent seems to be missing
 and tor.real has a dependency on this path:
 >  /var/tmp/dist/libevent/lib/libevent-2.0.5.dylib
 > In current OSX builds (e.g., TB 7.0a1), tor.real has a dependency on:
 >  @executable_path/libevent-2.0.5.dylib

 This should be fixed now.

 > After we copied libevent from TB 7.0a1 to the /var/tmp/... path, we got
 further: tor.real started up and completed the bootstrap phase but it
 exited immediately after that point:
 >  [notice] Owning controller connection has closed -- exiting now.
 >
 > We do not know why tor thinks the connection has closed (maybe the
 browser is closing the control port connection or maybe it is not). Is
 this a known problem?

 I also have the same error, but did not find the reason yet.
