Re: Unable to build GHC-7.4.1 on OpenIndiana

Thanks for your advice but that didn't help. Also GHC is build successfully on my Ubuntu box with gnu make-3.81 But solution for my case was quite simple - I've commented out those lines in ghc.mk that produced the error :) ghc binary-dist was built successfully and run well on solaris-10 box.

Hello GHC-users!

I'm trying to compile GHC-7.4.1 under OpenIndiana and get the following error all the time:

ghc.mk:85: *** Make has restarted itself 2 times; is there a makefile bug?.  Stop.

I googled a bit and found that this can be a result of touching some files during build. But actually no files were touched, I've even restarted compilation from scratch to check it.

Currently I have GHC-7.2.2. that was installed via http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe, GNU Make 3.81

I'd suggest you to try make-3.82. There were changes in laziness of macro expansion (ghc build system uses macros quite extensively).
