That's not really too surprising to me. The test suite is primarily intended for GHC developers, and at present only works reliably when GHC is compiled for validation. Including it in the distribution would force users who had no use for it to pay for it anyway.

Thanks Brandon

After downloading the source tarball and doing a build successfully I wanted to run the testsuite.

You write
As far as I know, the test suite is normally run from ghc/testsuite.
That directory doesn't exist for me:

pwd
/Users/gcolpitts/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404/ghc
bash-3.2$ ls testsuite
ls: testsuite: No such file or directory
bash-3.2$

so I guess the source tarball doesn't contain it and those who do a build can't test their build with the testsuite. I was hoping I could do that.

I didn't think the libffi directories were the right place to run from but they were only testsuite directories that the find command gave me.

Thanks again
George

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
