Hi, I'm trying to build and install ghc head, with the installation of the .haddocks. I'm running into all kinds of trouble though. I have docbook and docbook-xsl installed, am using the standard sample build.mk with the "quick" profile, modified to have HADDOCK_DOCS = YES BUILD_DOCBOOK_HTML = YES and configure confirms that it will build docs. A full 'make' however leaves the source tree without any .haddock files inside, and a subsequent 'make install' does not install any .haddock files either. Moreover, curiously, no 'haddock' script is installed (only haddock-ghc-7.7.20130721) -- but perhaps that is expected? I can easily build the .haddock files manually by running "make html stage=0 FAST=YES" as per the wiki (inside, say, ../base/ in the source tree), and that works as expected, but a subsequent 'make install' in the root still does not install any .haddocks. I tried copying over the .haddock files manually, but now running haddock (copied from haddock-ghc-7.7.20130721) exits with haddock: internal error: /Users/dev/local/lib/ghc-7.7.20130721/html: getDirectoryContents: does not exist (No such file or directory) That path "/Users/dev/local/lib/ghc-7.7.20130721" is specified as the "topdir" in the haddock script and passed to the actual executable with -B and -l , and indeed that's where the libraries are installed. However, I don't understand why it's looking in ~/local/lib/ghc-7.7.20130721/html, because the html documentation is not installed there (but in ~/local/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/). I'm shooting in the dark here really, I'm not really sure what's going on or what I've done wrong. Any pointers would be appreciated! Thanks, Edsko
Ok, I just realized that that ~/local/lib/ghc-7.7.20130721/html
directory it is looking for *does* exist in a normal build and
contains themes and stuff. Copying that from inplace/lib/html in the
ghc source tree avoids the internal error message, so this is probably
just another manifestation of the failure to install the haddocks in
the first place. I still don't know why that happened though (why it
didn't build the .haddock files nor install them, or the
inplace/lib/html directory).

docbook isn't related to building haddock docs.

What does make show VALUE=HADDOCK_DOCS say? Thanks Ian -- Ian Lynagh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
Hi Ian,
That says
HADDOCK_DOCS="YES "

That space is almost certainly the problem. Thanks Ian -- Ian Lynagh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
