#14392: `make binary-dist` is broken -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Fuuzetsu | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- If we run {{{#!bash ./boot ./configure make make binary-dist }}} We are soon greeted with the following error {{{ cd bindistprep && "/bin/tar" hcf - -T ../bindist-list.uniq | /usr/bin/xz -c > ../bindistprep/ghc-8.3.20171025-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.xz /bin/tar: ghc-8.3.20171025/testsuite/utils/check-api-annotations/dist- install/build/.depend.c_asm: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: ghc-8.3.20171025/testsuite/utils/check-api-annotations/dist- install/build/.depend.haskell: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: ghc-8.3.20171025/testsuite/utils/check-api-annotations/dist- install/package-data.mk: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: ghc-8.3.20171025/testsuite/utils/check-api-annotations/ghc.mk: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: ghc-8.3.20171025/testsuite/utils/check-ppr/dist- install/build/.depend.c_asm: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: ghc-8.3.20171025/testsuite/utils/check-ppr/dist- install/build/.depend.haskell: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: ghc-8.3.20171025/testsuite/utils/check-ppr/dist-install/package- data.mk: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: ghc-8.3.20171025/testsuite/utils/check-ppr/ghc.mk: Cannot stat: No such file or directory /bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors mv bindistprep/*.tar.xz "." }}} I suspect https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/1e9f90af7311c33de0f7f5b7dba594725596d675 is to blame: bindist was not updated. A temporary work around I'm using is {{{ + $(filter-out testsuite/utils/check-ppr/% testsuite/utils/check-api- annotations/% %/project.mk mk/config.mk %/mk/install.mk,$(MAKEFILE_LIST)) \ }}} in top level {{{ghc.mk}}} in {{{bindist-list}}} {{{eval}}} section. I have reported this in #ghc to Ben but I am creating this ticket such that we can track the progress. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14392 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
