#7879: validate in build tree fails due to problem copying haddock resources to inplace -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: AndreasVoellmy | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Build System Version: | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Other | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- I setup my build tree using the instructions here http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Using .
