Building mtl-2.1.2... Preprocessing library mtl-2.1.2...

It also isn't included in the output of {{{make binary-dist}}}.

I've noticed it today as well.

It looks like the script is properly installed for use in-place during the build of Ghc (at least an executable copy is present after a build). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8760#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I think I might know the reason. I reference "$1/$2/$$($1_$2_PROG)" in the install rule (in the patch), where I should have referenced "$$($1_$2_INPLACE)". Try switching it and seeing if it works. (I was unsure of which variable to use, so I guessed - apparently wrongly) If that doesn't work... I guess just try various variables for that rule, I'm confused by the mass of dollar signs everywhere and I'm unsure of what variable is what. I'm at work currently and cannot try the change myself. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8760#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
