Thank you! This patch unfortunately doesn't quite work on Linux yet when running 'make install' from a binary distribution. I'll get it going in my
#8760: ghc 7.8: ghc-split not installed ------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: MagnusTherning | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Type of failure: Installing GHC failed | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by khyperia): Replying to [comment:6 thoughtpolice]: tree again to see if I can fix it. I think I might know the reason. I reference "$1/$2/$$($1_$2_PROG)" in the install rule (in the patch), where I should have referenced "$$($1_$2_INPLACE)". Try switching it and seeing if it works. (I was unsure of which variable to use, so I guessed - apparently wrongly) If that doesn't work... I guess just try various variables for that rule, I'm confused by the mass of dollar signs everywhere and I'm unsure of what variable is what. I'm at work currently and cannot try the change myself. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8760#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
