RE: Cannot make ghc: Failed to load interface for GHC.Base

Wait.. are you saying that with HEAD several test suite programs fail as you describe below? If so, which? Simion From: ghc-devs [mailto:ghc-devs-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Dan Rosén Sent: 30 August 2013 14:26 To: David Luposchainsky Cc: ghc-devs@haskell.org Subject: Re: Cannot make ghc: Failed to load interface for GHC.Base Closed, but a note to interested readers: killy9999 on #ghc realized the reason why the stage1 compiler cannot be built with this patch is related to that several test suite programs exit with erros like this: GHC/Base.lhs:1:1: GHC internal error: ‛GHC.Base.Monad’ is not in scope during type checking, but it passed the renamer tcl_env of environment: [] So the error is resolved, and now productive debugging can start.

However, if I just cherry-pick this simple commit onto HEAD https://github.com/danr/ghc/commit/86631ffd294af320cb9b00e1a593201af887ed72, then I do get this error, which is very puzzling. I did a make maintainer-clean in between. On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 6:05 PM, David Luposchainsky mailto:dluposchainsky@googlemail.com> wrote: On 2013-08-29 18:03, Austin Seipp wrote:

When was the last time you cleaned your tree? Earlier this week I made a breaking change to the interface file format. If you have a build from before then, update and incrementally rebuild, it will break. I tried all of clean, distclean and maintainer-clean, followed by the usual build process. The issue remains.
