Re: GHC HEAD now needs extra tools to build libffi?

Anyone else getting linker errors? /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_uint64' chmod +x inplace/bin/runghc /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_uint32' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_uint16' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_uint8' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_sint64' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_sint32' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_sint16' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_sint8' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_double' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_float' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_pointer' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_type_void' /home/thomas/git/ghc-new/libraries/ghci/dist-install/build/libHSghci-8.3-ghc8.3. 20171003.so: error: undefined reference to 'ffi_prep_cif' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status `gcc' failed in phase `Linker'.

Trying to build a fresh copy of GHC HEAD (at commit [1]) today failed for me with this error: [2]

/u/rgscott/Software/ghc4/libffi/build/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. You might want to install the Texinfo package: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/ The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might want to install GNU make: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/

On my Ubuntu machine, I was able to work around the issue by running:

apt-get install texinfo

But I'm not sure if the texinfo requirement was expected or an unintended side effect of recent libffi changes. Do you know what's happening here Moritz?
