Re: Building HEAD with HEAD fails

Scratch that, I managed to reproduced. (As you said, it occurs only when you do the bindist.) I'll debug.

I did not use an inplace-stage2 but had a 'make install' before and did a boot/reconfigure.

Not sure whether this detail is relevant.

How can I debug this problem? What does the error message say precisely?

Cheers,

So... I can't reproduce this. I validated a copy of GHC HEAD, and then used the inplace ghc-stage2 to build another using ./configure --with-ghc=... and it built fine.

Maybe, do you have some more details?

This is likely my fault, w.r.t. to the recent Cabal submodule update. I'm a bit confused why there are things in the DB that don't have ABI hashes though...

Hi devs,

just a heads-up (pun intended...)

(After updating to TOT, boot and configure with a freshly installed TOT ghc as bootstrap compiler. Then 'make clean'.)

Running 'make' gives:

The only solution I could come up for now is

cd libraries ln -s /home/ggreif/lib/ghc-7.11.20151020/package.conf.d bootstrapping.conf

then resuming 'make' leads to success.

What could this be? Has somebody seen such an error?

Cheers and thanks,

Gabor
