Re: HEAD build fails on OS X

Gabor,

I thought this issue is closed, until I tried to re-bootstrap on OS X with a freshly built GHC from HEAD as bootstrap compiler. I get the same trap, and the ffi dylib issue. 7.7-20130223 works, yesterday's version doesn't. The problem appears already while configuring. Could you try to reproduce this?

Yes, I can reproduce it. After "make install", the installed GHC refers libffi in the build directory. % otool -L ghc | grep libffi /Users/kazu/work/ghc/libffi/build/inst/lib/libffi.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0) So, after I did "make maintainer-clean", the installed GHC could not find a libffi. Note that I did not specify "--with-system-libffi" to "configure" in this case. --Kazu
