#15916: GHC doesn't build on powerpc64 architecture on systems other than GNU / Linux -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: pkubaj | Owner: trommler Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: powerpc64 Type of failure: Building GHC | Test Case: failed | Blocked By: 15411 | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/81 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by trommler): Replying to [comment:32 pkubaj]:
Then: {{{ gmake clean gmake -j 8 && gmake binary-dist TAR_COMP=xz }}} On amd64, what is the contents of `inplace/bin` after the above?
On powerpc64, what is your PATH environment variable set to, when you install? You want `/usr/local/bin` before `/usr/bin` so during installation new binutils are used. Can you also add the output of `ldd /usr/local/lib/ghc-8.6.3/bin/ghc-pkg`? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15916#comment:34 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
