Hi, I just installed GHC 5.02.2 (actually, the latest version from CVS), and had a strange problem. My first attempt worked ok, but I screwed something up, so I junked it and started again from scratch. This time, it died part-way through the "make boot" step for ghc itself, because glafp-utils/mkdependC/mkdependC had not been built. To fix the problem I just went to that directory and made mkdependC myself first, and then recompiled from $(BUILD), which worked. Does anyone have any idea why mkdependC may not have been built in the first place? Also, when I try to compile for ticky-ticky profiling by setting GhcCompilerWays=t and GhcLibWays=t in $(BUILD)/mk/build.mk, and then running "make all" in $(BUILD), it compiles for a short time and then dies with this error message: <lots of stuff...> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ==fptools== make way=t all; PWD = /local/scratch-1/njn25/ws/build/ghc/compiler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ /homes/njn25/local/bin/ghc-5.02.2 -o ghc_t-5.03 -ldl -cpp ... <many files> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSutil_t collect2: ld returned 1 exit status <> make[3]: *** [ghc_t-5.03] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/scratch-1/njn25/ws/build/ghc' make: *** [all] Error 1 Am I doing something wrong? Has something been broken in 5.02.2? In case it's useful, here's the exact steps I took: - CVS checkout happy, ghc, hslibs - make build tree with sym links to code tree - run autoconf in $(BUILD) and in ghc/$(BUILD) - run ./configure in $(BUILD), with apt. --prefix and --with-ghc values - create $(BUILD)/mk/build.mk: ProjectsToBuild = happy hslibs ghc GhcCompilerWays= GhcLibWays= (for ticky-ticky profiling, I added "t" to the last two lines) - run "make all" in $(BUILD) Thanks for the help. -- Nick Nethercote njn25@cam.ac.uk
