I'd like to run the testsuite on macOS but I am having trouble following the documentation at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests/Running

Do I need to download something in addition to the source tarball or am I making some mistake?

Following is what I tried:

pwd

/Users/gcolpitts/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404/libffi

# doc says: The commands on this page can all be executed from the testsuite directory.

bash-3.2$ find . -name testsuite

./libffi/build/testsuite

./libffi/build/x86_64-apple-darwin/testsuite

bash-3.2$ pushd libffi/build/x86_64-apple-darwin/testsuite

~/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404/libffi/build/x86_64-apple-darwin/testsuite ~/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404

bash-3.2$ make test

make: *** No rule to make target `test'. Stop.

bash-3.2$ popd

~/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404

bash-3.2$ pushd libffi/build/testsuite

~/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404/libffi/build/testsuite ~/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404

bash-3.2$ make test

make: *** No rule to make target `test'. Stop.

bash-3.2$ popd

~/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404

bash-3.2$ make test

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -C testsuite/tests CLEANUP=1 SUMMARY_FILE=../../testsuite_summary.txt

make: *** testsuite/tests: No such file or directory. Stop.

make: *** [test] Error 2

Thanks

George

I am happy to announce the release of the 8.2.1-rc1 source distribution

It seems to build okay for me on Fedora 26 so far.

But the testsuite completely failed in timeout: see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13534

Cheers, Jens
