#10374: Can't build GHC with a dynamic only GHC installation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jessicah | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by jessicah: Old description:

When an installation of GHC doesn't include the vanilla "way", GHC cannot be built from this existing installation of GHC.

E.g. using the following mk/build.mk: {{{ V = 0 GhcLibWays = dyn SRC_HC_OPTS = -O -H64m GhcStage1HcOpts = -O -fasm GhcStage2HcOpts = -O2 -fasm GhcHcOpts = -Rghc-timing GhcLibHcOpts = -O2

DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT = YES

NoFibWays = STRIP_CMD = : }}}

Steps to reproduce: 1. build & install GHC using above configuration 2. rebuild GHC using above configuration, --with-ghc pointing to the installation created in step 1
