OK that was it! Now I can build GHC…. Real progress.
But I still can’t validate: sh validate using THREADS=5 make: Entering directory '/c/code/HEAD/utils/checkUniques' ./check-uniques.py ../.. Traceback (most recent call last): File "./check-uniques.py", line 39, in <module> uniques = find_uniques(glob.glob(os.path.join(top_dir, 'compiler', 'prelude', '*.hs'))) File "./check-uniques.py", line 15, in find_uniques ms = unique_re.findall(open(f).read()) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 15185: ordinal not in range(128) make: *** [Makefile:8: check] Error 1 make: Leaving directory '/c/code/HEAD/utils/checkUniques' /c/code/HEAD$
Any ideas about what might be happening? The Python version is 3.4.3.
I'm not sure why I haven't seen this locally but I think I know what is happening. Could you try D2373 (also available as wip/check-uniques-fix)? Cheers, - Ben
