I'm trying to build ghc 5.02.2 under cygwin (2.125.2.10), using gcc rather than an existing Haskell compiler. I'm running with gnu make version 3.79.1 I configured with --prefix=D:/haskell/ghc (where I've installed the package), and --enable-win32-dlls. The make process is failing (ultimately) because the genprimopcode command is being invoked before (apparently) it has been compiled. Looking back through the trace, the makefile in genprimcode is running, but then failing: should this not have terminated the entire build? syslib text -O -c Main.hs -o Main.o syslib: not found make[3]: [Main.o] Error 127 (ignored) o genprimopcode -syslib text -O Main.o o: not found make[3]: [genprimopcode] Error 127 (ignored) M -optdep-f -optdep.depend -osuf o -syslib text -O Main.hs M: not found make[3]: [depend] Error 127 (ignored) Somehow, it looks like the "syslib" compiler option is being incorrectly intrpreted as a make command. Looking further into the make result, a number of other commands are also failing with an ignored error 127, e.g. ==fptools== make boot - --unix - --no-print-directory -r; in /cygdrive/d/haskell/ghc/ghc/utils/hsc2hs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M -optdep-f -optdep.depend -osuf o -package util -cpp -O Config.hs KludgedSy stem.hs Main.hs Config.hs M: not found make[3]: [depend] Error 127 (ignored) Again, it looks somehow that a command issued from a makefile is being truncated. I would be grateful for any comments or suggestions. thanks, David Duke -- Dr. David Duke Email: D.Duke@bath.ac.uk Department of Computer Science Web: www.bath.ac.uk/~masdad/ University of Bath Tel: +44 1225 323 407 Bath, BA2 7AY U.K. Fax: +44 1225 323 493
