#13542: Solaris build fails with collect2: execv: Arg list too long -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: kgardas | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: infoneeded Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): I've done simple test and where the compilation failed with the error above I've replaced -split-objs with -split-sections and repeated the step and then continue with `gmake`. This way I've been able to build GHC HEAD on Solaris 11.2 but only with patch below applied. I guess nobody test on Solaris so no-flock condition is kind of broken, the error is: {{{ libraries/base/GHC/IO/Handle/Lock.hsc:159:20: error: <80>� Variable not in scope: throwIO :: FileLockingNotSupported -> IO Bool <80>� Perhaps you meant <80><98>throw<80><99> (imported from GHC.Exception) | 159 | lockImpl _ _ _ _ = throwIO FileLockingNotSupported | ^^^^^^^ gmake[1]: *** [libraries/base/dist-install/build/GHC/IO/Handle/Lock.o] Error 1 }}} and my naive patch is: {{{ diff --git a/libraries/base/GHC/IO/Handle/Lock.hsc b/libraries/base/GHC/IO/Handle/Lock.hsc index 5608c18..3ef19f7 100644 --- a/libraries/base/GHC/IO/Handle/Lock.hsc +++ b/libraries/base/GHC/IO/Handle/Lock.hsc @@ -48,6 +48,10 @@ import GHC.Ptr import GHC.Real import GHC.Windows +#else + +import Control.Exception + #endif import Data.Functor }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13542#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
