#7519: CLK_TCK is not always a constant ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: singpolyma | Owner: Type: bug | Status: merge Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.7 Keywords: qnx | Os: Other Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: Building GHC failed Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by kgardas): Hi, as a Solaris user I'd like to add that the patch is not needed for Solaris native compiles. i.e. i386. 7.6.x compiles and runs fine on Solaris. The patch is needed for cross-compiling i386-solaris -> x86_64-solaris. The problem is that hsc2hs is kind of more strict while cross-compiling than while doing native compiles -- that's why the code even before patch run fine and I just fail on it once attempting cross-compiling to x86_64-solaris. So, message is clear, if 7.6.x does not support cross-compilation, I wouldn't bother with merging the patch into 7.6.x branch. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7519#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
