Re: Fwd: Trying to compile GHC under Ubuntu as a cross-compiler for ARM

have you read the cross compiler directions on the wiki? :) https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/CrossCompilation http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/ARM On Wed, Apr 2, 2014 at 12:30 PM, eng. Vassil Ognyanov Keremidchiev < varosi@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello!

Thanks, it continued with building until some LLVM errors. But will --with-gcc= arm based compiler will create GHC with: Host: x86 Ubuntu (where compilation should happen) Target: ARMv7 Linux ?

Because I don't want to have GHC on my slow and restricted ARM machine.

Best regards, Vassil

Last time I did that (crossing to ARMv8) I needed to use --with-gcc=<cross compiler> option since for some reason I had not time to debug setting target triple with --target was not enough. Speaking about GHC HEAD as of new year eve (2014) time...

But well, since it this is already some time I'm not sure this was to cure issue like you have now, but at least you may give it a try...

Hello!

Could someone help me with compiling GHC under Ubuntu as a ARM cross-compiler?

Currently I have done those steps: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install autoconf alex happy libtool autopoint zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev ghc-haddock sudo export PATH=~/.cabal/bin:$PATH sudo cabal install --reinstall happy alex terminfo libffi html regex-compat

git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git cd ghc

./sync-all --no-dph get ./sync-all pull ./boot sudo ./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --enable-unregisterised cp mk/build.mk.sample mk/build.mk http://build.mk

# here I enable quick-cross configuration sudo make

and I get:

echo "compiler_stage1_depfile_c_asm_EXISTS = YES" >> compiler/stage1/build/.depend-v.c_asm.tmp mv compiler/stage1/build/.depend-v.c_asm.tmp compiler/stage1/build/.depend-v.c_asm inplace/bin/deriveConstants --gen-header -o includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/DerivedConstants.h --tmpdir includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/ --gcc-program "/usr/bin/gcc" --gcc-flag -fno-stack-protector --gcc-flag -Iincludes --gcc-flag -Iincludes/dist --gcc-flag -Iincludes/dist-derivedconstants/header --gcc-flag -Iincludes/dist-ghcconstants/header --gcc-flag -Irts --gcc-flag -fcommon --nm-program "/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-nm" /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-nm: includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/tmp.o: File format not recognized deriveConstants: readProcess: /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-nm "includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/tmp.o" (exit 1): failed make[1]: *** [includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/DerivedConstants.h] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2

What I have done wrong? I did not understand the error message well, too.
