#7651: Buiding GHC with parallel IO manager freezes on Mac (not on FreeBSD) ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Os: MacOS X Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: Building GHC failed Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by kazu-yamamoto): GHC head has already workaround for this. Please see libraries/base/GHC/Event/Manager.hs. You can find "#if defined(darwin_HOST_OS)". But we still have two problems: - Building GHC on Mac sometime fails. We need to understand whether or not this is due to the new IO manager. Unfortunately, I cannot "make install" GHC head at this moment as I described in ghc-deps. - We need to rescue old MacOS. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc- devs/2013-March/000798.html -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7651#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
