It appears the build is still broken. Sorry! Please stand by, or roll back the last set of commits. Edward Excerpts from Scott Lawrence's message of Sat Jun 11 12:44:18 -0400 2011:
Trying to compile GHC7 from source (as the ubuntu repository is still on GHC6), I came across the following error in the final phase:
libraries/base/GHC/ST.lhs:78:1: You cannot SPECIALISE `forever' because its definition has no INLINE/INLINABLE pragma (or its defining module `Control.Monad' was compiled without -O)
This was after:
git clone [...] ./sync-all get perl boot ./configure make
Is there some problem with trying to build GHC7 on a machine with GHC6, or did I just get the build procedure wrong (the last line of the error looks like a hint that I did).
