Thanks Brandon After downloading the source tarball and doing a build successfully I wanted to run the testsuite. You write - As far as I know, the test suite is normally run from ghc/testsuite. That directory doesn't exist for me: - pwd - /Users/gcolpitts/Downloads/ghc-8.2.0.20170404/ghc - bash-3.2$ ls testsuite - ls: testsuite: No such file or directory - bash-3.2$ so I guess the source tarball doesn't contain it and those who do a build can't test their build with the testsuite. I was hoping I could do that. I didn't think the libffi directories were the right place to run from but they were only testsuite directories that the find command gave me.

It seems to build okay for me on Fedora 26 so far. But the testsuite completely failed in timeout: see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13534 Cheers, Jens _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
