#11501: Building nofib/fibon returns permission denied -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rem | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: NoFib benchmark | Version: 7.10.3 suite | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 | (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by simonpj): * cc: gracjanpolak@… (added) Comment: Gracjan says (email to ghc-devs): I went into the rabbit hole that starts here So far I know that: 1. fibon is not built regularly by any CI and it bitrotted significantly. 2. Makefile's for fibon use undefined variables like INPLACE_HSC2HS_PGM. Probably those were sourced from ghc/mk/*.mk, but not now. 3. Haskell courses are pre-AMP (this is easiest to fix). 4. Makefile's build object files one by one and that fails in case modules depend on each other. ghc-paths.mk sorts objects and that gives wrong compile order. Does anybody know a commit-hash or date when it did compile last time? Knowing that this module (fibon) wasn't used for so long does it make sense to fix it? How about removing it? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11501#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
