The A.BB.<date> form is set automatically by the nightly build system before it begins the build, at the moment. To get such a version number, yes you have to edit version.mk. Unfortunately with CVS there isn't a good way to do this automatically. > Hmmm now I've looked int version.mk I see that the > ProjectVersion is 5.02.3 > when I thought I had checked 5.02.2 out of the repository. > This isn't a > problem as the change should work with either version. You checked out the latest sources from the 5.02 branch; the last revision on the branch was 5.02.3, so that's the version number in version.mk. Cheers, Simon

You can fiddle with the version in fptools/ghc/mk/version.mk, but I can't guarantee that if you don't use a version of the form A.BB.C or A.BB.<date>, then things will work properly. eg. configure scripts which look for GHC will attempt to parse the version number and fail if it isn't in a recognised form. Ok I won't do that! How do I get the A.BB.<date> set as a version? Do I have edit version.mk? In which case what is the format for <date>? Hmmm now I've looked int version.mk I see that the ProjectVersion is 5.02.3 when I thought I had checked 5.02.2 out of the repository. This isn't a problem as the change should work with either version. ghc is making away as I type so I might be nearly there. Dominic. C C problem as the I'm going to make shou

If you instead invoke fptools/ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace, then it looks for libraries in the source tree (we call this the "in-place" compiler). > 2. What do I put in build.mk to change the version?

Simon, I'm now ready to "make". I have set up a mk/build.mk with the just following line: prefix = /home/djs25/testghc I should then be able to invoke my test ghc as /home/djs25/testghc/ghc-5.02.2/bin/ghc I have some questions: 1. How does ghc know where to get its libraries from? Will it pick them up from /home/djs25/testghc/ghc-5.02.2/bin/ghc or /usr/lib/ghc-5.02.2 2. What do I put in build.mk to change the version? I would like /home/djs25/testghc/ghc-5.02.2/bin/ghc --version to give The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 5.02.2test so that I know am picking up my test version rather than the real thing. Many thanks, Dominic.

I went into Network! This is another CVS oddity. If a file isn't present on the HEAD, then it lives in the Attic. The file libraries/network/Network/Socket.hsc was copied from hslibs/net/SocketPrim.hsc at some point after the 5.02 branch, so looking at the revision history for that file won't give you the history for the original file (for the CVS-savvy: we don't do "repository copies" in GHC). > I ran ./configure and got an error.

The network library moved from hslibs/net to libraries/network after version 5.02.x. libraries/network/Network/Socket.hsc is what used to be hslibs/net/SocketPrim.hsc. The contents of hslibs/net is now just stubs that re-export the new libraries, so someone using the old interface still gets the same stuff. Ok but in that case the revisions and branches reported by cvs stat seem to be different than those in the web page. For example, cvs stat reports ghc-5-02-2 as revision 1.12.2.4 but the web page only has a revision 1.12. How do the web pages tie up with what you get from cvs checkout? > I think from what you said in one of your previous emails that I need to > build the whole of ghc. Am I correct?
