#8746: Crosscompiling -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Visionstar | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Crosscompile | cross compile failed ncurses | setupterm not found Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by rwbarton): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: I agree with thomie's sentiments, but: * `terminfo` already builds just fine when cross-compiling, so long as you have installed the terminfo C library properly for your cross-compiler. https://github.com/neurocyte/ghc-android does this for you for the case of cross-compiling to Android, and it sounds like the original reporter also got it to work eventually. * I'm guessing the "Unsupported GHC version" error was a result of an improperly checked-out GHC source tree, as described at https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-March/004294.html. (My fuzzy understanding is that Haddock is built by the stage 2 compiler anyways, according to comments in `ghc.mk`, so perhaps it doesn't make sense to do anything with Haddock when cross-compiling. (But the error clearly shows something being built with `ghc-stage1`, so what's up with that?) In any case, one doesn't get this error if one sets `HADDOCK_DOCS = NO`.) So, going to close this again. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8746#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
