Re: [Haskell-cafe] Error trying to build haskell-dbus on FreeBSD

Maybe. Though it seems to me that the pre-processor isn't missing, but it's doing the wrong thing…

I'd suggest to open an issue at https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues – there should be people who can tell more exactly what's going wrong here.

Yep, the problem is with Clang's preprocessor. Running it manually results in a bunch of warning: missing terminating ' character [-Winvalid-pp-token] messages. Stumbling upon a ' character makes cpp stop preprocessing current macro. This is the case for IsValue instance, which contain typeOf' method. Not sure if this should be reported to the package developer, GHC devs or Clang devs.

Hmm... maybe I am missing a package in FreeBSD then? Is that the

possible suggestion?

I think the error suggests that the C pre-processor doesn't work as expected. Look at the source around the error locations:

https://github.com/rblaze/haskell-dbus/blob/43b1382ce93f08272fd6fda253d977f6...

...

...

"HsType" is a variable name used in the CPP definition.

Yes I am. I put allow newer in both because stack complained about

dependencies, and suggested it. I just put it in as a quick test to see if I could build it. Cabal didn't complain about dependencies, but got the same error.

Are you using the same dependency set (including GHC version) that

Why did you enable allow-newer?

I am trying to build haskell-dbus on FreeBSD 12.1. I have tried

with stack 2.1.3.1, and with cabal 2.4.0.0. I am seeing this error:

...

Not in scope: type constructor or class ‘HsType’

Full error:

HsType is part of ghc unless I am missing something. I am new to

using FreeBSD as I usually use Linux. This package builds fine for me on Linux.
