Sigh. I'll revert this. I couldn't reproduce this on my two machines, but I should have figured it would have broken something. I took a chance. :)

So the documentation builds fine for you? I believed the FreeBSD builders failed only because the they always try to build the documentation as well, while that might not be the part of the standard validation pass.

I'll try it on FreeBSD before pushing.

I can help with this, you do not have to struggle with FreeBSD just because of this -- just send me the patch to try. However, I think this may not be fully an operating system-related issue, perhaps the documentation toolchain is not up-to-date enough. For example, I have this version of the latex command installed currently: pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.15 (Web2C 2014) kpathsea version 6.2.0 [..] Compiled with libpng 1.6.16; using libpng 1.6.16 Compiled with zlib 1.2.3; using zlib 1.2.3 Compiled with xpdf version 3.03

Yes, please try the patch here - I think it should fix it (it carries an explanation too): https://phabricator.haskell.org/D970

Yeah, thanks, this appears to be working.

I'm afraid I have no idea... I pushed several documentation patches to the ghc-7.10 branch: https://phabricator.haskell.org/diffusion/GHC/history/ghc-7.10/ Can you try reverting some of those 'More 7.10.2 release notes commits'? That's the only thing I can think that might be the culprit... On Sun, Jun 14, 2015 at 10:08 AM, Páli Gábor János wrote:

Hi Austin,

Looks like the build is failing again, with another error message from LaTeX [1]:

<snip> Build users_guide.ps latex failed users_guide.tex:17168: Undefined control sequence \Colon. users_guide.tex:17168: leading text: } Unexpected error occured Missing character ⤙ Missing character ⤚ Missing character ⤛ Missing character ⤜ [ -f docs/users_guide/users_guide.ps ] docs/users_guide/ghc.mk:26: recipe for target 'docs/users_guide/users_guide.ps' failed gmake[1]: *** [docs/users_guide/users_guide.ps] Error 1 Makefile:102: recipe for target 'all' failed gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Do you have any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks, Gábor

Hi Thomas, 2015-06-14 19:07 GMT+02:00 Thomas Miedema :

The user's guide builds and looks fine for me, and Phabricator validates it as well.

I tried to make this work with a recent set of those related packages (dblatex, docbook, LaTeX etc.) but it still does not fully work for me. The best result I was able to achive is that I passed the -P 'latex.unicode.use=1' flag to dblatex so it could build the PS file. It still says that, though: Missing character ⤙ Missing character ⤚ Missing character ⤛ Missing character ⤜ Note that this way the PS file is generated, but when I checked the table in 7.3.1, it had the entity codes in place of the Unicode symbols. May I see the build logs of yours somewhere? Thanks, Gábor
