Re: HEAD not building on OS X

in rts/ghc.mk, I changed the rts/libs.depend rule to this: # collect the -l and -L flags that we need to link the rts dyn lib. rts/libs.depend : $$(ghc-pkg_INPLACE) "$(ghc-pkg_INPLACE)" --simple-output field rts extra-libraries \ | sed -E 's/([^ ]+)/-l\1/g' > $@ "$(ghc-pkg_INPLACE)" --simple-output field rts library-dirs \ | sed -E 's/([^ ]+)/-L\1/g' >> $@ seemed to work for me. The old pattern used \+ with -e, which some sleuthing shows isn't supported on OS X. HTH. On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 5:14 PM, Carter Schonwald < carter.schonwald@gmail.com> wrote:

How would i do this change locally on my local OSX build? (i'm still getting familiar with ghc's build systems myself, so how to do the OS X only fix would be dandy :) )

It seems this patch

50e78dafd0cac5ca3b28ef71559899f179343ddf

changed some sed expressions in rts/ghc.mk that seem to be no longer firing on my Mac now. Mac has a different flavor of BSD sed and such.

The resulting contents of rts/libs.depend on my build attempt is

$ cat rts/libs.depend m dl /Users/nfrisby/Source/ghc-build-trees/vanilla/rts/dist/build

It's missing the -l and -L prefices that the sed commands are supposed to add.

I can hack around this on my Mac, but I'll leave the fix to someone with some portable sed fu.

Thanks.
