Hi Greg,

Thanks again for maintaining ghc in macports!

I tried installing ghc through macports. Unfortunately, the build failed with the following error message below. I'd be happy to send you a complete log, if you think it would help. Many thanks,

This is odd. What platform (intel/ppc and OS X version) are you running on? A complete log would help too. The output of # sudo port -dv destroot ghc > dest.log 2>&1 is good. You will probably want to compress the log file before sending. One thing you might try is to ensure that you have no failed build lying around by running # sudo port clean ghc # sudo port install ghc The combination of ghc Makefiles and MacPorts infrastructure is not able to recover from a failed or interrupted build. You need to clean up and start over. You should also clean before recording the log. Best, greg

I got the same error when trying to install ghc 6.8.2 from MacPorts on OS X 10.4.11/Intel. It seems like the stage2 build is picking up the wrong version of Cabal from my user packages left over from a previous GHC 6.8.2 installation. Deleting ~/.ghc fixes the problem. Maybe the GHC build should be changed to make sure that it doesn't use user packages?

Björn

I'll see if I can come up with a patch to the build system that avoids this. BTW, what version the Cabal in your user packages? I was never able to reproduce this myself --- I probably didn't stumble upon the right (i.e., wrong) combination of cabals. bw, Greg

I think that this was actually done a while ago: [pass -no-user-package-conf to ghc-inplace Simon Marlow **20080104162840] { Thanks Ian

I tried a "port selfupdate" and "port clean --all ghc", followed by a "port install ghc". I ran into the error below (seems like another file-locking bug). I Bjorn's advice (getting rid of the .ghc directory) - the build went through smoothly. I'm not sure what's going on here.

Hmmm. If I understand correctly, doing a "port selfupdate" and "port clean --all" gave a locking bug, but after you deleted .ghc, everything worked properly?

Yes. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Somehow the problem only pops up if you have an existing ghc installation and a newish Cabal. And even then, there's an easy fix.

Can you do a "port installed ghc" and verify that you have revision 3?

The following ports are currently installed: ghc @6.8.2_3+darwin_9_i386 (active) That looks ok to me... Thanks again for your help!

Leopard/ppc are out of luck until for now, for reason discussed earlier on this list.

I was able to build ghc 6.8.2 on Leopard/ppc using the patch from

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1958 (also below)

Could you try if it works for you, too?

I forgot to mention, that I had to build a bootstrapping compiler on pcc tiger with this patch first. C.

I used both ghc-6.6.1 and macports to create a working ghc-6.8.2 on OS X 10.5.2 on a powerpc G4 laptop.

Great! It would be awsome if a PPC/Lepoard installation package was made available from GHC's page.
