I have been attempting to bootstrap ghc-6.4.1 on a Fedora system with no previous version of ghc installed. I'm currently stuck at System/CPUTime_hsc.c. The build fails at the following point: $ distrib/hc-build --enable-hc-boot-unregistered [ many successful lines skipped ] touch GHC/PrimopWrappers.hs gmake[2]: *** No rule to make target `System/CPUTime_hsc.c', needed by `depend'. Stop. what can be the problem?? -- ___________________________________________ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/S C++++ P+ L+++(++++) E++(+++) W++ N+++ w--- G++++ e+++ a-- y d- s:++ r-- b+ Y+ G+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ decode with www.ebb.org/ungeek Linus Torvalds wrote:
Ehh.. Telling people "don't do that" simply doesn't work. Not if they can do it easily anyway. Things really don't get fixed unless people have a certain pain-level to induce it to get fixed.
Umm... How about the following: you hit delete on patches that introduce new ioctls, I help to provide required level of pain. Deal? - Al Viro on linux-kernel
