#10310: MakingReleases outdated or build system problems -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build | Version: 7.10.1 System | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Hey, I have some problems following https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/MakingReleases with HEAD. I'll collect them here, maybe we can update the Wiki page together, or fix the corresponding problems in the build system if they are problems. 1) `make sdist` fails with the problem that `ghc-tarballs` doesn't exist. I've heard that's only needed on Windows, and that some people seem to get it by cloning a submodule when they are on Windows. A `mkdir ghc-tarballs` fixed it. Maybe that directory should be created by the build system? 2) When I `make` in the unpacked sdist tarball, I get {{{ "" -P 'filename.as.url=0' utils/haddock/doc/haddock.xml --ps -o utils/haddock/doc/haddock.ps "" -P 'filename.as.url=0' utils/haddock/doc/haddock.xml --pdf -o utils/haddock/doc/haddock.pdf /bin/bash: : command not found /bin/bash: : command not found make[1]: *** [utils/haddock/doc/haddock.ps] Error 127 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [utils/haddock/doc/haddock.pdf] Error 127 }}} Looks like some program was set to the empty string here. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10310 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
