I have tried to build the source tarball on FreeBSD, but it always stops somewhere around the documentation bits with the following error message: [..] make -C utils/haddock/doc html SPHINX_BUILD=/usr/local/bin/sphinx-build make: illegal option -- - usage: make [-BPSXeiknpqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-E variable] [-f makefile] [-I directory] [-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-V variable] [variable=value] [target ...] utils/haddock/doc/ghc.mk:22: recipe for target 'html_utils/haddock/doc' failed gmake[1]: *** [html_utils/haddock/doc] Error 2 Makefile:129: recipe for target 'all' failed gmake: *** [all] Error 2 That is probably because FreeBSD has GNU make(1) as `gmake`, it should be invoked with that name. I suspect that, for some reason (which is unknown to me), the value of the $(MAKE) variable is not respected at the recursive invocation of make(1). Unfortunately, I will not have the time to figure this out today, so I am just reporting this without a proposal for the fix. Thanks, Gábor
