make binary-dist on Solaris 10.

Folks, I'm trying to kind of resurrect Solaris 10 support. Got to `make binary-dist' already but now this fails with: cd bindistprep && "/usr/sfw/bin/gtar" hcf - -T ../bindist-list | bzip2 -c > ../bindistprep/ghc-7.8.20140130-i386-unknown-solaris2.tar.bz2 /usr/sfw/bin/gtar: ghc-7.8.20140130/compiler/stage2/doc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /usr/sfw/bin/gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors mv bindistprep/*.tar.bz2 . I'd just like to ask here, any idea what tool is responsible for generating this doc content in compiler's stage2 dir? My idea is that some tool(s) is missing on Solaris 10, configure detects this, general build is fine then, but bindist counts with the `doc' dir populated. So just let me know into what direction I shall look... Thanks! Karel

could be worth throwing a ticket on track for this.
Likewise, for the patches your hacking out, could you also put them on trac
TOO? Hard to make sure core ghc devs can keep track of those patches
otherwise (let along have a centralized log of the discussion)

Sorry for making this noise, but this was my mistake. I've build GHC with quick flavor set in mk/build.mk and this way nobody can wonder why there is no doc generated. Now, with a little bit of patching (by patches I already provided), I'm able to build functional Solaris 10 based binary distribution from RC1. Karel On 02/10/14 08:32 AM, Karel Gardas wrote:
