Summary: building GHC head succeeds both on FreeBSD and Mac. But installing GHC head fails both on FreeBSD and Mac. This is probably because no installed scripts define (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I tried to install the vanilla binary tarball that the builder client created this morning [1] (i386), but I got the following errors at install: install: rts/dist/build/libCffi_debug-ghc7.7.20130325.so: No such file or directory install: rts/dist/build/libCffi_thr-ghc7.7.20130325.so: No such file or directory install: rts/dist/build/libCffi_thr_debug-ghc7.7.20130325.so: No such file or directory install: rts/dist/build/libCffi_l-ghc7.7.20130325.so: No such file or directory install: rts/dist/build/libCffi_thr_l-ghc7.7.20130325.so: No such file or directory install: rts/dist/build/libffi-6.dll: No such file or directory strip: '/usr/local/ghc-7.7/lib/ghc-7.7.20130325/rts-1.0/libffi-6.dll': No such file gmake[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 1 gmake: *** [install] Error 2 However, the builder itself happily passes the binary-dist and test_bindist targets.
If --with-system-libffi and etc are specified, both building and installation succeeds on FreeBSD. "validate" with these options still freezes:
Yes, I still have not solved this issue but working on it.
Note that I set "sudo -w vfs.timestamp_precision=1" on FreeBSD according to:
This is unrelated to the freezes, it will only help you with concurrently building the sources as it enables to use higher precision for file system timestamps to avoid the previously experienced make(1) problem. [1] http://csupor.inf.elte.hu:8080/ghc/dist/freebsd8/current/dist/ghc-7.7.201303...
