#12554: Testsuite exhibits large amount of framework failures -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Phyx- | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect result | Unknown/Multiple at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Alright, so I've been trying to work out how to downgrade our Windows builder to a non-broken version of `msys2-runtime` (namely 2.5.1). It seems that the current installer executable ships with a 2.6 runtime, which is not compatible with the 2.5 series. Consequently it is necessary to use a release from July 2016 instead (http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/msys2-base-x86_64-20160719.tar.xz). From this release you can downgrade the runtime with `pacman -U`. Namely I'm using http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/msys2-runtime-2.5.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12554#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
