I've been working on upgrading [haskell] to Ghc 7.4.2 for a few days now. So far no luck :(
The build always fails on creating documentation. Yesterday I resorted to taking the source package from [extra], which is known to build fine... but still it failed on generating the docs. I now suspect this is due to the limited memory available on the machine I use to build (1.5GB).
No it's not a memory problem. I found the same problem with building the docs on 8 GB of tmpfs, and others have found the same problem in other distros, e.g. Debian. Here's what I have in my notes: # Edited build.mk to disable PS and PDF docs, which fail to build (maybe fixed by # using different dblatex version but apparently the doc build is fragile)
My build.mk then has for the perf build: ifeq "$(BuildFlavour)" "perf" # perf matches the default settings, repeated here for comparison: SRC_HC_OPTS = -O -H64m GhcStage1HcOpts = -O -fasm GhcStage2HcOpts = -O2 -fasm GhcHcOpts = -Rghc-timing GhcLibHcOpts = -O2 GhcLibWays += p BUILD_DOCBOOK_PS = NO BUILD_DOCBOOK_PDF = NO I think that those last two assigns will fix the problem at the expense of building only html docs.
