#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:17 pkubaj]:
{{{ root@talos:$/usr/ports/lang/ghc$ /usr/ports/default/lang/ghc/work/ghc-8.6.3-boot/lib/ghc-8.6.3/bin/ghc ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libHShaskeline-0.7.4.3-ghc8.6.3.so" not found, required by "ghc"
}}} Do not use `ghc` in `<prefix>/lib` but the shell script `ghc` in `<prefix>/bin`. It sets an `LD-LIBRARY_PATH` if necessary.
The libraries are there, though:
{{{ root@talos:$/usr/ports/lang/ghc$ find work/ghc-8.6.3-boot/libraries -name "*.so" work/ghc-8.6.3-boot/libraries/Cabal/Cabal/dist- install/build/libHSCabal-2.4.0.1-ghc8.6.3.so [...] }}} This looks like you did not do `make install`. In that case you want to use `inplace/bin/ghc-stage2`.
