#15916: GHC doesn't build on powerpc64 architecture on systems other than GNU / Linux -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: pkubaj | Owner: trommler Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: powerpc64 Type of failure: Building GHC | Test Case: failed | Blocked By: 15411 | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/81 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by pkubaj): Running {{{make install}}} on powerpc64 throws error: {{{ghc-cabal: '/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.6.3/bin/ghc-pkg' exited with an error: array-0.5.3.0: Warning: haddock-interfaces: /usr/local/share/doc/ghc-8.6.3/html/libraries/array-0.5.3.0/array.haddock doesn't exist or isn't a file array-0.5.3.0: dependency "base-4.12.0.0" doesn't exist (use --force to override)}}} Still, {{{ghc}}} binary was installed, and it works. When i had {{{DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=YES}}}, I used the script from {{{bin/ghc}}}, but it threw the same error. It works with it disabled. When {{{DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=YES}}}, {{{inplace/bin/ghc-stage2}}} is not present. {{{ghc-stage2}}} is in {{{ghc/stage2/build/tmp}}}: {{{ root@talos:$/home/pkubaj/ghc-8.6.3-boot$ find . -name ghc-stage2 ./ghc/stage2/build/tmp/ghc-stage2 }}} This binary seems to run ok. {{{ root@talos:$/home/pkubaj/ghc-8.6.3-boot$ ./ghc/stage2/build/tmp/ghc-stage2 --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.6.3 }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15916#comment:20 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
