Hi,

  I am with my new Ubuntu Trusty box. I have installed ghc by apt-get. Then I wanted to build ghc from git to upgrade to 7.8.3.

  I did following commands. I tried 'make clean', or reget the source. No luck yet.

$ git clone --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git

$ ./sync-all -r git://git.haskell.org remote set-url origin

$ git checkout ghc-7.8.3-release

$ ./sync-all get

$ rm -r libraries/time # as prompted by sync-all

$ ./sync-all get

$ ./boot

$ ./configure

$ make

===--- building phase 0

make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=0 phase_0_builds

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `phase_0_builds'.

===--- building phase 1

make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=1 phase_1_builds

"inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" check libraries/haskell98

"inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" configure libraries/haskell98 dist-install "" --with-ghc="/home/local/ANT/shida/src/git/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" --with-ghc-pkg="/home/local/ANT/shida/src/git/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg"  --disable-library-for-ghci --enable-library-vanilla --enable-library-profiling --enable-shared --configure-option=CFLAGS=" -fno-stack-protector   " --configure-option=LDFLAGS="   " --configure-option=CPPFLAGS="   " --gcc-options=" -fno-stack-protector       " --with-gcc="/usr/bin/gcc" --with-ld="/usr/bin/ld" --configure-option=--with-cc="/usr/bin/gcc" --with-ar="/usr/bin/ar" --with-ranlib="/usr/bin/ranlib" --with-alex="/usr/bin/alex" --with-happy="/usr/bin/happy"

Configuring haskell98-2.0.0.4...

ghc-cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing:

base ==4.8.*

make[1]: *** [libraries/haskell98/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2
