I've built ghc previously and I assumed to keep it up to date I just did
darcs pull
followed by
make
but I got errors and according to the rebuilding instructions http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Rebuilding I shouldn't have done that.
I therefore followed the instructions but got the following error.
It's probably best to do a "make distclean" at this point, then follow the building instructions.
By the way darcs-pull all seemed to require a lot of manual intervention. Is there a way of getting the latest patches automatically and building overnight without intervention?
./darcs-all pull -a will pull all patches without prompting you to ask whether you want to pull each patch, if that's what you mean. The following should pull patches and rebuild everything without manual intervention: ./darcs-all pull -a; sh boot; ./configure; make but YMMV.
