#8760: ghc 7.8: ghc-split not installed --------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: | Owner: MagnusTherning | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Component: Build System | Operating System: Linux Keywords: | Type of failure: Installing GHC failed Architecture: | Test Case: Unknown/Multiple | Blocking: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------ These are the steps I run to build and install (to prepare for packaging): {{{ ./sync-all -r git://git.haskell.org get -b ghc-7.8 ./boot ./configure --prefix=/usr make -j 5 make DESTDIR=/path/to/prepackage/dir install }}} The build itself works fine, the installed binaries work for simple tests like compiling ''hello, world'', starting {{{ghci}}}, etc. However, building '''mtl''' failed with {{{ Configuring mtl-2.1.2... Building mtl-2.1.2... Preprocessing library mtl-2.1.2... [ 1 of 21] Compiling Control.Monad.Writer.Class ( Control/Monad/Write/Class.hs, dist/build/Control/Monad/Writer/Class.o ) ghc: could not execute: /usr/lib/ghc-7.8.0.20140204/ghc-split }}} So it seems ''ghc-split'' isn't installed by {{{make install}}}. It also isn't included in the output of {{{make binary-dist}}}. I've seen this on both ''x86'' and ''x86_64''. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8760 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
