I'd recommend you fetch the latest changes I've made to the git repo. There's a new pkgrel of GHC itself (7.4.1-2) as well as some fixes to the patches. Some extra instructions:
- After creating all the PKGBUILDs it's necessary to adjust the dependency on GHC (unless you modify `cblrepo` and build a new version of it), e.g. by executing something like
for f in */PKGBUILD; do sed -e 's/\(.*\)ghc=7\.4\.1-1\(.*\)/\1ghc=7.4.1-2\2/' -i $f done
- It's not possible to record dependencies on tools in Cabal files, instead that is done in some of the patches. Unfortunately this means that `clbrepo` can't produce a build order that is 100% guaranteed to work; a bit of manual tweaking of the ,,build-order file may be necessary. I think the only tools in question are `alex`, `happy` and `gtk2hs-buildtools`.
Good luck ;)
Et voilà!
I have pulled your changes to the patches then rebuilt all. I have uploaded them at the same location.
Excellent, I'll prepare a repo with those packages during the day.
I did not need to tweak the ,,build-order file.
Ah, then you were lucky :)
By the way, what happens if I want to build it while being root (or under a sudo bash)? I had to type in me password several times because I did not dare try it being root. Do you have a trick to avoid typing it?
Yeah, it's a bit unfortunate that we have to work with chroot, which requires root access. I always configure a timeout for sudo so I don't have to enter my password on *every* invocation. For larger builds, like all of [haskell] for instance, I actually configure sudo to not require a password. Those are the only ways I know of avoiding typing the password several times. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
