#8259: HEAD won't build on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: schyler | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 failed | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by hvr): ...as discovered on irc, `./sync-all checkout master` was invoked somewhere inbetween, causing the wrong branch of `Cabal` being checked out, which is `git submodule` controlled, and thus has is not supposed to be branch-based. The remedy is to call `./sync-all pull` which will reset the Git submodules to their proper (detached) HEADs. This is a symptom of the unfinished Git submodule conversion. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8259#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
