#3103: Compiling base with cabal fails. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: Lemmih | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 6.10.1 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: T3103 Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by monoidal): Not sure if this matters, but when I do "cabal build" with HEAD only a warning is given instead of a panic: {{{ [ 69 of 196] Compiling Foreign.Ptr ( Foreign/Ptr.hs, dist/build/Foreign/Ptr.o ) The interface for `base:GHC.Num' Declaration for $fNumWord_$csignum Unfolding of GHC.Num.$fNumWord_$csignum: Can't find interface-file declaration for data constructor GHC.Types.W# Probable cause: bug in .hi-boot file, or inconsistent .hi file Use -ddump-if-trace to get an idea of which file caused the error }}} and the compilation succeeds. The warning is suspect, though. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3103#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
