Cannot make ghc: Failed to load interface for GHC.Base

I don't know if these ignores are expected. I've tried cloning the repo from http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git and the github mirror, I'm using the "quick" build flavour, but I've also tried adding DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT=NO DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO before GhcLibWays' definition in mk/build.mk without success. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks, Dan

Just as a remark, I'm getting the same error, presumably because Dan and me were working on the same modules. To put the error in perspective, here's how I got it: After editing a few lines in PrelNames.lhs and TcRnDriver.lhs, I felt like it was time to rebuild GHC again from scratch, so I did the usual clean-and-make-again. However, it seems like Base simply isn't built, all the packages are skipped for some reason (search for "Configuring array-0.4.0.2..." in Dan's log for example). I've had this issue in the past, and none of clean/distclean/maintainer-clean helped solve it. In the end I just deleted the folder and cloned a new version, but that's hardly a solution I'd like to use every time, especially when I've done code changes (generate and then reapply patch manually).

When was the last time you cleaned your tree? Earlier this week I made a breaking change to the interface file format. If you have a build from before then, update and incrementally rebuild, it will break. On Thursday, August 29, 2013, David Luposchainsky wrote:

I tried all of clean, distclean and maintainer-clean, followed by the usual build process. The issue remains. David
