#15576: Hadrian puts its build tree in the wrong place -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I have a source tree in my slow, network-mounted backed-up filestore `/home/simonpj/ghc`, and a separate link-tree in my fast, physically- connected, non-backed up filestore `/playpen/ghc`. Every file in `/playpen/ghc` is a symlink to the corresponding source file in `/home/simonpj/ghc`. But when I do {{{ $ cd /playpen/ghc $ hadrian/build.sh -c -j4 --flavour=quick }}} I find a new `_build` director in `/home/simonpj/ghc`. This is bad! It should be in `/playpen/ghc`. Otherwise (a) it's slower, (b) it creates backup churn and (c) as it happens, I ran out of space on the backed-up filestore. Can this be fixed? It's a bad Hadrian shortcoming. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15576 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
