#8783: make ghc-pwd-bindist script /bin/sh compatible for Solaris -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: maeder | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: libraries | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 (other) | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: Solaris | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 Type of failure: Building GHC | hour) failed | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): Replying to [comment:35 maeder]: part of libffi). Yet,
libffi/build/i386-unknown-solaris2/config.status still contains:
{{{ SHELL='/bin/bash' }}}
(So maybe gmp's ./configure is actually less robust wrt to shell detection.)
That's why I fought hard for actual issue identification. :-) Indeed, the issue may in gmp's configure itself. The question is if you'd like to identify it and submit patch upstream and just work-around it in ghc itself... As I said I don't like your first attempt with using /bin/sh ./configure -- but I think removing $(SHELL) (in your second attempt) should be ok. Well, still fixing the gmp's configure is probably the most clean of those solutions anyway. :-) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8783#comment:36 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
