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

No! Sorry for the confusion Simon, it is HEAD _PLUS_ my own commit that triggers these errors. Oh, and I should add that 'my own commit' is only in my own development repository. So, no worries! /Dan On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 4:44 PM, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

Wait.. are you saying that with HEAD several test suite programs fail as you describe below? If so, which?

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.****

Sorry! I thought I got this build error when making HEAD, but I don't. It builds fine.

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. ****

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.****
