trouble compiling 6.8.3 using 6.8.3
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to rebuild ghc 6.8.3 (the previous version was built without
readline linked in), and I'm running into a compilation issue.
build error:

Um, scratch that. I've apparently become confused as to which release I was actually building.

So I've run into a (legitimate) issue with building 6.8.3. Initiall I was getting things like this: build error: ../compiler/ghc-inplace -optc-O -optc-Wall -optc-W -optc-Wstrict-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-declarations -optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return -optc-I../includes -optc-I. -optc-Iparallel -optc-Ism -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -optc-g -optc-O0 -optc-I../gmp/gmpbuild -optc-fno-strict-aliasing -H16m -O -package-name rts -static -I../gmp/gmpbuild -I. -#include HCIncludes.h -dcmm-lint -hisuf debug_hi -hcsuf debug_hc -osuf debug_o -optc-DDEBUG -c ProfHeap.c -o ProfHeap.debug_o Printer.c:962:17: error: bfd.h: No such file or directory this was being caused by not being able to find binutils-related headers. similar errors occured after not being able to find readline headers.

I got around this by exporting some env vars: export CPPFLAGS="-I/lusr/gnu/include -I/lusr/include" export LDFLAGS="-L/lusr/lib -L/lusr/gnu/lib" however, that still didn't solve the problem, and eventually I resorted to "grafting" (copying via symlinks) the include files into the build-dir/includes directory. that worked until I ran into this: checking for readline in -lreadline... yes checking for rl_readline_version... yes checking for rl_begin_undo_group... yes checking for rl_erase_empty_line... yes checking for rl_free_undo_list... yes checking for rl_completion_word_break_hook in -lreadline... yes configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating readline.buildinfo config.status: creating include/HsReadlineConfig.h if ifBuildable/ifBuildable readline; then \ cd readline && \ cmp -s ../Makefile.local Makefile.local || cp ../Makefile.local .; \ mv GNUmakefile GNUmakefile.tmp; \ setup/Setup makefile -f GNUmakefile; \ cmp -s GNUmakefile GNUmakefile.tmp && mv GNUmakefile.tmp GNUmakefile; \ make -wr --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j && \ setup/Setup register --inplace; \ fi mv: cannot stat `GNUmakefile': No such file or directory Preprocessing library readline-1.0.1.0... /lusr/gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline collect2: ld returned 1 exit status linking dist/build/System/Console/Readline_hsc_make.o failed command was: gcc -lreadline -lncurses dist/build/System/Console/Readline_hsc_make.o -o dist/build/System/Console/Readline_hsc_make make[2]: Entering directory `/v/filer4b/cvsbuild/CVSBUILD/ghc-6.8.3-linux-i686/ghc/libraries/readline' make[2]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

this was being caused by not being able to find binutils-related headers. similar errors occured after not being able to find readline headers. (these were in a non-standard location).
I got around this by exporting some env vars:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/lusr/gnu/include -I/lusr/include" export LDFLAGS="-L/lusr/lib -L/lusr/gnu/lib"
however, that still didn't solve the problem, and eventually I resorted to "grafting" (copying via symlinks) the include files into the build-dir/includes directory.
that worked until I ran into this:

specifically, what is failing is the "setup/Setup makefile -f GNUmakefile" command.
bash-3.2$ setup/Setup makefile -f GNUmakefile Preprocessing library readline-1.0.1.0... /lusr/gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline collect2: ld returned 1 exit status linking dist/build/System/Console/Readline_hsc_make.o failed command was: gcc -lreadline -lncurses dist/build/System/Console/Readline_hsc_make.o -o dist/build/System/Console/Readline_hsc_make
however, if you cd into build-dir/libraries/readline and run this manually:
./configure --with-readline-includes=/lusr/gnu/include --with-readline-libraries=/lusr/gnu/lib
you can then run the "setup/Setup makefile -f GNUmakefile" and it works.
so I thought I'd try simply modifying the libraries/Makefile:
bash-3.2$ diff -urN libraries/Makefile.orig libraries/Makefile --- libraries/Makefile.orig 2009-04-06 14:36:44.000000000 -0500 +++ libraries/Makefile 2009-04-06 15:29:14.000000000 -0500 @@ -277,9 +277,11 @@ if ifBuildable/ifBuildable $*; then \ cd $* && \ cmp -s ../Makefile.local Makefile.local || cp ../Makefile.local .; \ - mv GNUmakefile GNUmakefile.tmp; \ + if [ -e GNUmakefile ] ; then mv GNUmakefile GNUmakefile.tmp ; fi ;\ + if [ "$*" = "readline" ] ; then ./configure --with-readline-includes=/lusr/gnu/include --with-readline-libraries=/lusr/gnu/lib ; fi ; \ setup/Setup makefile -f GNUmakefile; \ cmp -s GNUmakefile GNUmakefile.tmp && mv GNUmakefile.tmp GNUmakefile; \ + echo $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) && \ $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) && \ setup/Setup register --inplace; \ fi

At this point I think this has gotten a little too hack-ish, so I thought I'd ask the mailing list what for proper way of telling ghc where your readline installation lives?
I think the problem you're describing never got fixed: see http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2970 and then we decided to replace readline with editline (bad mistake) and later decided to adopt haskeline instead. I believe some OSs (e.g. FreeBSD) that put readline outside the standard locations have their own hacks to get around this. Cheers, Simon

thanks, I'll try either updating to the latest version or cribbing from FreeBSD. -jason
