|
| Hi Simon,
|
| This happens because the locations of the submodules are specified
| using relative paths from the main GHC repository, but Tritlo has only
| made a fork of the main GHC repo, not all the submodules. I would do
| this:
|
| * Clone from the main GHC repo (including submodules) however you
| usually do it (e.g., git clone --recursive
| https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git)
| * Add Tritlo's ghc repo as a remote: git remote add tritlo
| git@github.com:Tritlo/ghc.git
| * Fetch from the new remote: git fetch tritlo
| * Check out the branch you want: git checkout tritlo/<branch-name>
|
| Here "tritlo" is just a name for the remote within your local ghc
| checkout, so it can be anything you choose.
|
| Regards,
| Reid Barton
