Hello,
This week end I built GHC from the source, and everything ran smoothly.
However, I cannot figure out how to set python2 as the python executable to build the documentation or to run the testsuite.
How do you proceed ?
In the GHC package in ArchHaskell we simply patch up the source: check() { cd ghc-${pkgver} # python2 rename sed -e 's/PYTHON = python/&2/' -i testsuite/mk/boilerplate.mk sed -e 's_#!/usr/bin/env python_&2_' -i testsuite/timeout/calibrate testsuite/timeout/timeout.py make THREADS=9 test } /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay
