GHC newcomer here -- attempting to work on my first patch. I decided to try Hadrian, but ran into a problem. I think I obtained the source using
git clone --recursive https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc Then: ./boot && ./configure hadrian/build.sh -j --flavour=devel2
This ran for maybe 15 minutes, then showed the error below. Apparently I ended up with too many tarballs? Any suggestions? Thanks, Eric ... ... | Run Ghc CompileCWithGhc Stage1: rts/Inlines.c =>
