Hi, I'm trying to compile the latest version of GHC from CVS. I followed the instructions on GHC's web page and everything worked just fine. But when I updated the sources with "cvs update -dP" as instructed, CVS checked-out pretty much everything the CVS repository carries. (Is that supposed to happen? The CVS cheat sheet suggests that only "ghc", "libraries", and "hslibs" would be used/required.) So, when I tried to compile again -- now with _everything_ in the source tee --, the build fails here: | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ==fptools== make boot -wr; | in /usr/local/src/ghc-current/green-card/lib | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | target ffi Foreign/GreenCard.gc -o Foreign/GreenCard.hs | make[2]: target: Command not found | make[2]: [Foreign/GreenCard.hs] Error 127 (ignored) Obviously, at some point the Makefile goes wrong and doesn't get the options right, but I have no idea where to start looking. Is this a known problem? Or has anyone a suggestion where to start debugging this? I'm building GHC on Linux/i386 with GHC 5.04.3 as boot-strapping compiler and GCC 3.2.2 as C backend. Any suggestions are appreciated! Peter
