#15328: cpphs: internal error: evacuate(static): strange closure type 8440 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: cnmne | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Package system | Version: 8.4.3 Resolution: | Keywords: cabal, cpphs, | strange closure Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC | Test Case: failed | Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by osa1): cnmne, if you want to help with debugging this doing the follwoing would be really helpful: - Clone a fresh GHC and cd into the directory - `cp mk/build.mk.sample mk/build.mk` - Edit `mk/build.mk`, add `GhcDebugged = YES` somewhere in that file - Build with `./boot && ./configure && make` - Edit `inplace/bin/ghc-stage2` to add `+RTS -DS -RTS` at the end of the last line (the line starting with `exec ...`) ghc-stage2 is now a debug build with sanity checks enabled. Now install everything again (whatever you need to install to reproduce this) but pass `--with-ghc=path-to-ghc-stage2` to cabal in each command. Hopefully you'll get a better error message. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15328#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
