#9549: deriveConstants fails on OpenBSD -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: roland | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: OpenBSD Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Building Difficulty: Unknown | GHC failed Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- On OpenBSD 5.5 compilation of current HEAD fails with: {{{ inplace/bin/deriveConstants --gen-header -o includes/dist- derivedconstants/header/DerivedConstants.h --tmpdir includes/dist- derivedconstants/header/ --gcc-program "/usr/bin/gcc" --gcc-flag -fno- stack-protector --gcc-flag -Iincludes --gcc-flag -Iincludes/dist --gcc- flag -Iincludes/dist-derivedconstants/header --gcc-flag -Iincludes/dist- ghcconstants/header --gcc-flag -Irts --gcc-flag -fcommon --nm-program "/usr/bin/nm" nm: unknown option -- P usage: nm [-aCegnoprsuw] [file ...] deriveConstants: readProcess: /usr/bin/nm "-P" "includes/dist- derivedconstants/header/tmp.o" (exit 1): failed includes/ghc.mk:167: recipe for target 'includes/dist- derivedconstants/header/DerivedConstants.h' failed gmake[1]: *** [includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/DerivedConstants.h] Error 1 Makefile:71: recipe for target 'all' failed gmake: *** [all] Error 2 }}} This is due to OpenBSD's nm not supporting the -P option. Perhaps it can be fixed by using 'objdump --syms' instead of 'nm -P' (see attached OpenBSD-only patch). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9549 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
