#15448: Allow execution of stage2 compiler to happen later -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Build System | Version: 8.4.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #14949 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently cross-compiled bindists are rather incomplete since we can't run the stage2 compiler to build various utilities (e.g. `hp2ps` and `haddock`). Ideally we would be able to run a build up to the point where we need to run host code, package up the build tree, and finish the build on the host. There are a number of challenges that this brings, but it will ultimately make it far easier to build proper non-Linux/amd64 bindists on CircleCI (#14949). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15448 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
