#13858: Compiling with LaTeX docs on Mint requires additional packages -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: HairyDude | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.0.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: | Type of failure: Building GHC Unknown/Multiple | failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- [[Building/Preparation/Linux]] gives a list of optional packages required for building documentation. Having installed these (following the instructions for Debian on Mint 17.1), I tried to build GHC 8.0.2 from source, and compilation stopped with a LaTeX prompt. I hit enter a few times until `make` exited with an error, resulting in the following being the end of `make`'s output. {{{ cd docs/users_guide/build-pdf/users_guide ; xelatex -halt-on-error users_guide.tex This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-0.9999.3 (TeX Live 2013/Debian) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./users_guide.tex LaTeX2e <2011/06/27> Babel <3.9h> and hyphenation patterns for 2 languages loaded.
