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

Hm, so it's definitely not anything I changed. I just cloned and built it and got the same problem (7109fa8157f3258912c947f28dab7617b5e5d281). On 10/03/2017 04:42 PM, Ben Gamari wrote:

Can you confirm which commit you are on?

Not sure. I ran `git submodule update --init --recursive` and git status says everything's up to date. I'm on Ubuntu 16.10.

I pulled head this morning and built with no problems on a Mac. I wonder if you need to pull submodules as well (which I did) or if you're missing some newly required dependency.

This is after running

make clean && make distclean && find . -name "*.o" -type f -delete && find . -name "*.hi" -type f -delete

then

./boot && ./configure && make -j5

(ghc-new is not a new checkout, this error is happening on a branch I'm working on, but one that doesn't touch the FFI)

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/ 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/ 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?
