Re: GHC 8.0.1-rc4 source tarball availability

ok, its detecting my python3 sphinx 1.4 install, but also looks like the autoconf is getting confused FP_COMPARE_VERSIONS([$fp_cv_sphinx_version],-lt,1.0.0, [AC_MSG_WARN([Sphinx version 1.0.0 or later is required to build documentation]); SPHINXBUILD=;]) seems to be the relevant bit, though its setting the config correctly now I *believe * On Sat, Apr 23, 2016 at 12:25 PM, Carter Schonwald < carter.schonwald@gmail.com> wrote:

fixed up the sphinx confusion...

seems we need the python 2.7 sphinx installed? (or at least, it wasn't checking sphinx correctly to handle the version supported in the python 3 series?!)

err, i mean, sphinx was giving checking for version of sphinx-build... Sphinx (sphinx-build) 1.4.1 ./configure: line 9698: test: Sphinx (sphinx-build) 1: integer expression expected

which version of sphinx for which python are we supposed to use?

Thanks Carter. I'm not so concerned with obtaining a working build. I'd like to be able to build with the Apple toolchain. I assume there are other developers who feel the same.

Can you elaborate on the "path to nm classic is wrong" ?

Cheers George
