Ah -- I understand better now. I'm afraid I've never worked with the source distribution, so I don't have further advice about that. It seems odd, though, that changing rts code would cause problems with wired-in packages. Have you tried just building without any edits and then putting your edits in?

Dear Richard, GHC-devs,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using the 7.6.3 source distribution. According to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/QuickStart "perl boot" is not necessary for source distributions. I did give it a try however (repeating step 3 and 4 afterwards), but it did not solve my problem. There is no sync-all script in the source distribution.

I went with a source distribution rather than checking out from the git repository because it was recommended on the "Getting the GHC Sources"-page and because I rather make my changes to an otherwise stable tree. Do you think this is a bad idea?

Cheers,

Did you `./sync-all get`? Did you `perl boot`? You may want to check out the "Building GHC" section of https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building to make sure you've followed all the steps.

I hope this helps, Richard

Dear GHC-devs,

I want to experiment with the RTS of GHC but the compiler I built has problems finding some wired-in packages. How can I include these?

This is what I did:

* Download ghc-7.6.3 sources. * Make some changes in rts/ * ./configure && make * inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --make my_example.lhs -v

And this is the output produced by the last step:

... wired-in package ghc-prim mapped to ghc-prim-0.3.0.0-inplace wired-in package integer-gmp mapped to integer-gmp-0.5.0.0-inplace wired-in package base mapped to base-4.6.0.1-inplace wired-in package rts mapped to builtin_rts wired-in package template-haskell not found. wired-in package dph-seq not found. wired-in package dph-par not found. ... my_example.lhs:88:8: Could not find module `Language.Haskell.TH' Locations searched: Language/Haskell/TH.hs Language/Haskell/TH.lhs

Dear Richard, I tried rebuilding a fresh source distribution which has the same problem. I simply don't think template-haskell is included in the source distribution. I also tried building ghc from the git repository. This time I had (a little bit) more success: ghc builds and has template-haskell wired-in. However, as I feared, some development in template-haskell's git repository is going on that is not compatible with the example I try to compile (ClassP is depricated).

Dear Austin, Richard, Thank you for your help! I updated my example and as far as I can see everything is working as expected now with the compiler build from the git repository. Best, Maarten On 27/03/14 16:39, Austin Seipp wrote:

Template Haskell is certainly included in the 7.6.3 source distribution - but I'm afraid off hand, I couldn't tell you why it doesn't seem to be picked up by your compilation.

FWIW, if you want a change merged upstream, it's encouraged you use GHC from git and make the change there (because there have been a lot of changes in HEAD since then). If I remember correctly, the Pred change in template-haskell didn't even touch the compiler. The changes are here:

https://github.com/ghc/packages-template-haskell/commit/9b128b3c0317283edb07... https://github.com/ghc/packages-template-haskell/commit/a02ef9d827c4473e5e4e... https://github.com/ghc/packages-template-haskell/commit/57b662c3efd8579595c8...

If you *really* don't want to update your example, you *might* get away with reverting these commits in the template-haskell repository (located under libraries/template-haskell after using ./sync-all), and then build. But it's probably better if you can adapt your example to match HEAD, if possible.
