I'm confused.
Same here :-)
What does make show VALUE=BASE_LIBDIR say in testsuite/tests?
BASE_LIBDIR="/usr/home/user/ghc-validate/libraries/base/dist-install/build /usr/local/lib" Ah, it seems there is another directory added? I was completely under the impression that the problem is that the binary distribution is installed to the directory with spaces in its name.
What command is being run to cause the error?
I guess this is the HAVE_* lines, the [ -f file ] part that you have changed in the commit. See http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/pgj/1033/18.html for the details. There you should find a lot of error messages like this one: [: /tmp/builder/tempbuild/build/bindisttest/install dir/lib/ghc-7.7.20130512/base-4.7.0.0: unexpected operator
Does this work on FreeBSD?: [ -f "foo bar"baz ] && echo yes
No output. But: $ [ -f "foo bar" baz ] && echo yes [: foo bar: unexpected operator
