I just checked a fresh copy of ghc + hslibs out of CVS, and tried doing a vanilla build. It fell over doing "make boot" in hslibs. Here are the last few make messages: ... ../../ghc/utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg-inplace --update-package <lang.conf.inplace Reading package info from stdin... done. Expanding embedded variables...done. dependency `base' doesn't exist make[2]: *** [boot] Error 1 make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/scratch-4/njn25/ws2/build2/hslibs' make: *** [all] Error 1
You need to 'make all' in fptools/ghc before 'make boot' in hslibs. The top-level fptools Makefile will arrange this if you just say 'make' at the top level. Cheers, Simon
