Re: haddock issue building ghc-7.8 from git

Oh bother:

$ ./sync-all -b ghc-7.8

Should be: ./sync-all -b ghc-7.8 get of course. On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 4:45 AM, Austin Seipp wrote:

You need to say:

$ git clone -b ghc-7.8 https://git.haskell.org/ghc ghc-7.8 $ cd ghc-7.8 $ ./sync-all -b ghc-7.8

That should do the trick and get you a clean, working repository (sync-all is fiddly with checkout at the moment, if I remember correctly).

Hi,

When building from git (branch ghc-7.8 as of today), I run into a haddock issue because __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ appearently is not 709 on my system. Not sure whether this is a bug, and if it should go to trac/haddock or trac/ghc, so I decided to post it here.

My "fix" is easy enough (even though I ran into other problems later, so I don't really know how well it works):

The master branch of Haddock has that test for a reason: anyone working on Haddock will be doing so using GHC HEAD which is at 7.9. Haddock has a separate branch (named ghc-7.8) which is the candidate that will go into 7.8.

If you're building GHC 7.8, you should be on that branch for Haddock and all the other libraries. IIRC you can pass some arguments to the sync-all script which will do all the switching for you but I forgot what it was. I'm sure someone else can chime in.
