#10973: Building git HEAD with a singe make job fails due to dependency problem -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D1333 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Thomas Miedema ): In [changeset:"3340fe01bc6842c2cad53271541dce6699512ce0/ghc" 3340fe01/ghc]: {{{ #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc" revision="3340fe01bc6842c2cad53271541dce6699512ce0" Build system: fix `make -j1` (#10973) There are multiple hacks all over the build system to account for the fact that the ghc package uses different build subdirectories (stage1/stage2) than the other packages (dist/dist-install). One such hack filtered on 'ghc%', with the intention of filtering the ghc package only. After renaming bin-package-db to ghc-boot (d2f9972a35ce05ceb8a78893e433ef1df06f73ef, Phab:D1313, #10796), ghc-boot also got caught in the hack, which broke the build when running without parallelism. This patch replaces the before mentioned hack by a different one, such that filtering on 'ghc%' is no longer necessary. See Note [inconsistent distdirs].
