I think there are some files that are meant to be missing; you can ignore the tar warnings/errors about them.
I'm not sure what they are OTTOMH - possibly debug, prof, debug_prof etc variants of AutoApply.
Dear Ian, All, They are indeed variants of AutoApply, but to simply ignore the tar error does not seem like a good idea. Tar terminates upon these errors and other stuff gets added to the hc-files-to-go later on in the Makefile. IMHO, if indeed these files are not required, the makefile should read: for f in `$(FIND) ghc-$(ProjectVersion)/compiler ghc-$(ProjectVersion)/ rts -name "*.cmm" -follow -print` ""; do\ fd="`echo $$f | sed 's/cmm$$/hc/g'`; \ if test "x$$f" != "x" -a -e "$$fd"; then \ echo $fd >> hc-files-to-go; \ fi; \ done; I don't know whether the -a argument for test is "common" test syntax, but it should give a logical. The -e option tests that "$$fd" exists and is a file. Regards, Philip
