Re: mac platform problem with configure in 7.10.3 release candidate 3

Maybe my gnu gcc is not functional, let me check it out and get back to you On Saturday, November 21, 2015, George Colpitts wrote:

No, it's the reverse, it is gnu gcc that fails and Apple gcc that works

Attached is the config.log for the failing case of gnu gcc

The hq rc3 mac binary build is where I am reporting the problem. I also reproduced it on a mac just now on the hq rc3 src build which I guess is not surprising.

I believe I encountered this in previous 7.10.3 builds but failed to report it.

Sorry

Was this my build or the hq build? On Nov 20, 2015 6:55 PM, "George Colpitts" javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','george.colpitts@gmail.com');> wrote:

On MacOS if your path is such that gcc is the gnu gcc rather than Apple's gcc then ./configure gives

checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/Users/gcolpitts/downloads/ghc-7.10.2.20151114': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details

It's not clear to me why Apple's "GCC" (actually clang, if I'm not mistaken) doesn't work here. Could you paste config.log somewhere?
