#8764: Usage of `sed' in GHC build system (Solaris build failure). ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: kgardas | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): The MacOSX looks indeed unrelated. I've been hit by it also during the weekend and it was caused probably by some object files lying around from previous and different configured build. See #8374 Solaris issue is interesting, but I'm not able to duplicate it here. So yes, I've tested your patch on both Solaris 11.1 and Solaris 10 and both are able to compile GHC HEAD well. Please keep in mind that I'm minimalistic here, so I configure standard Single Unix Spec. v 3 PATH here (/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb....) and I'm running w/o any CSW provided software! My LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is undefined too. The build is configured with just {{{ $ ./configure }}} and runs fine. Please try to duplicate your issue using my GHC 7.6.3 distro from here: https://app.box.com/s/2nk7ffnr33lpg7b3mxeh -- unset any PATH pointing to /opt/csw. And build with: {{{ $ ./configure $ /opt/csw/bin/gmake }}} BTW: You will probably need to reinstall cabal/alex/happy to be also CSW libraries independent, but this is possible with my bindist provided above. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8764#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
