#10610: Issues face while building glassgow haskell compiler package on power - ppc64le - architecture -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: amitkumar_ghatwal | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.6.3 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I am a newbie to GHC platform. I am trying to port GHC to my power architecture , and whilst following the below: 1. wget http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.6.3/ghc-7.6.3-src.tar.bz2 2. tar xjvf ghc-7.6.3-src.tar.bz2 3. cd ghc-7.6.3 4. ./configure --enable-hc-boot --enable-hc-boot-unregisterised 5. make 6. sudo make install I am getting below errors while performing above step 4 : configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-hc-boot-unregisterised checking for gfind... no checking for find... /usr/bin/find checking for sort... /usr/bin/sort checking for ghc... no checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type This script, last modified 2012-02-10, has failed to recognize the operating system you are using. It is advised that you download the most up to date version of the config scripts from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess... and http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;h... If the version you run (./config.guess) is already up to date, please send the following data and any information you think might be pertinent to in order to provide the needed information to handle your system. config.guess timestamp = 2012-02-10 uname -m = ppc64le uname -r = 3.16.0-23-generic uname -s = Linux uname -v = #31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 21 17:55:08 UTC 2014 /usr/bin/uname -p = /bin/uname -X = hostinfo = /bin/universe = /usr/bin/arch -k = /bin/arch = /usr/bin/oslevel = /usr/convex/getsysinfo = UNAME_MACHINE = ppc64le UNAME_RELEASE = 3.16.0-23-generic UNAME_SYSTEM = Linux UNAME_VERSION = #31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 21 17:55:08 UTC 2014 configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one My system arch is as below : $ lscpu Architecture: ppc64le Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 2 On-line CPU(s) list: 0,1 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Model: IBM pSeries (emulated by qemu) Hypervisor vendor: KVM Virtualization type: full L1d cache: 64K L1i cache: 32K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0,1 Any pointers in above will be greatly appreciated. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10610 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
