RE: Problems building ghc-current

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.

Sorry about that, the instructions should really say that 'cvs update -dP' is only to be done in each project subdirectory. You still need to 'cvs update' at the top-level. CVS doesn't really support the structure of our source tree very well. Cheers, Simon
