Trying to build 7.8.4 from the source distribution (linux). make install-strip should work as per trac #1851, and the target does indeed appear in distrib/Makefile. However, the build uses the top-level Makefile, which doesn't, leading to # make install-strip ===--- 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 make[1]: Nothing to be done for `phase_1_builds'. ===--- building final phase make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=final install-strip make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install-strip'. Stop. make: *** [install-strip] Error 2 Am I doing something wrong? -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/install-strip-tp5763372.html Sent from the Haskell - Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
