#15132: Hadrian-built GHC cannot locate `unlit` ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: tdammers | Owner: alpmestan Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Build System | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: hadrian Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by alpmestan): * keywords: => hadrian * cc: alpmestan (added) * owner: (none) => alpmestan Comment: This is due to GHC systematically looking for unlit under libexec, not even trying to look at the directory where the `ghc` binary resides, to see whether it also has an `unlit` executable. I have a fairly simple fix for this on the hadrian side, that just places `unlit` executables under `<build root>/stage<N>/lib/bin/unlit` instead of `<build root>/stage<N>/bin/unlit`. Will submit a PR shortly. A better solution would be to change the code from `SysTools.hs` to do something a little smarter. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15132#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
