[GHC] #12502: Reject wrong find utility
#12502: Reject wrong find utility -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Phyx- | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: newcomer | Operating System: Windows Architecture: | Type of failure: Building GHC Unknown/Multiple | failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently our configure scripts try to find the correct find tool on the `PATH`. However because Windows also has a utility named `find`, depending on the user's configuration the Windows one may be on the path first. The Configure script currently rejects the tool and continues trying to find the correct `find` utility from `msys2`. However the binary distribution script doesn't get to know which find utility to use. So if the wrong `find` is on the path then the windows binary downloads will fail with a weird error. The find utility to use should probably be passed to the tarballs download script. We could just stuff it in an `Env variable` and use it in the script if available. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12502 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
