compiling ghc-6.8.3: unrecognized command line option "-fconfigure-option=" (SOLVED)
For anyone who might experience the same problem... Intalling ghc-6.8.3, the following error occurred: make -C libraries all make[1]: Entering directory `/path/to/src/gh c-6.8.3/ghc-6.8.3/libraries' rm -f -f stamp/configure.library.*.base base/unbuildable ( cd base && setup/Setup configure \ --enable-library-profiling --enable-split-objs \ --prefix=/NONEXISTANT \ --bindir=/NONEXISTANT \ --libdir=/NONEXISTANT \ --libsubdir='$pkgid' \ --libexecdir=/NONEXISTANT \ --datadir=/NONEXISTANT \ --docdir=/NONEXISTANT \ --htmldir=/NONEXISTANT \ --interfacedir=/NONEXISTANT \ --with-compiler=../../compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace \ --with-hc-pkg=../../utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg-inplace \ --with-hsc2hs=../../utils/hsc2hs/hsc2hs-inplace \ --with-ld=/path/to/bin/ld \ --haddock-options="--use-contents=../index.html \ --use-index=../doc-index.html" \ --configure-option='--prefix=/path/to/ghc-6.8.3' --configure-option='CC=gcc -m32' --configure-option='LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -L/path/to/lib -L/path/to/lib64 --configure-option=' --configure-option='CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/include --configure-option=' \ --configure-option=--with-cc=gcc ) \ && touch stamp/configure.library.build-profiling-splitting.base || touch base/unbuildable Configuring base-3.0.2.0... configure: WARNING: Unrecognized options: --with-hc, --with-hc-pkg checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. config.log showed this: configure:2171: checking for C compiler default output file name configure:2193: gcc -I/path/to/include --configure-option= -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -L/path/to/lib -L/path/to/lib64 --configure-option= conftest.c >&5 cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fconfigure-option=" cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fconfigure-option=" configure:2197: $? = 1 configure:2235: result: configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "Haskell base package" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "base" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.0" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "Haskell base package 1.0" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "libraries@haskell.org" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main () | { | | ; | return 0; | } configure:2242: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. ## ---------------- ## ## Cache variables. ## ## ---------------- ## ac_cv_env_CC_set=set ac_cv_env_CC_value='gcc -m32' ac_cv_env_CFLAGS_set= ac_cv_env_CFLAGS_value= ac_cv_env_CPPFLAGS_set=set ac_cv_env_CPPFLAGS_value='-I/path/to/include --configure-option=' ac_cv_env_CPP_set= ac_cv_env_CPP_value= ac_cv_env_LDFLAGS_set=set ac_cv_env_LDFLAGS_value='-Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -L/path/to/lib -L/path/to/lib64 --configure-option=' ac_cv_env_LIBS_set= ac_cv_env_LIBS_value= ac_cv_env_build_alias_set= ac_cv_env_build_alias_value= ac_cv_env_host_alias_set= ac_cv_env_host_alias_value= ac_cv_env_target_alias_set= ac_cv_env_target_alias_value= ac_cv_prog_ac_ct_CC=gcc ## ----------------- ## ## Output variables. ## ## ----------------- ## CC='gcc' CFLAGS='' CPP='' CPPFLAGS='-I/path/to/include --configure-option=' DEFS='' ECHO_C='' ECHO_N='-n' ECHO_T='' EGREP='' EXEEXT='' GREP='' LDFLAGS='-Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -L/path/to/lib -L/path/to/lib64 --configure-option=' LIBOBJS='' LIBS='' LTLIBOBJS='' OBJEXT='' PACKAGE_BUGREPORT='libraries@haskell.org' PACKAGE_NAME='Haskell base package' PACKAGE_STRING='Haskell base package 1.0' PACKAGE_TARNAME='base' PACKAGE_VERSION='1.0' PATH_SEPARATOR=':' SHELL='/bin/sh' ac_ct_CC='gcc' bindir='/NONEXISTANT' build_alias='' datadir='/NONEXISTANT' datarootdir='${prefix}/share' docdir='${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}' dvidir='${docdir}' exec_prefix='NONE' host_alias='' htmldir='${docdir}' includedir='${prefix}/include' infodir='${datarootdir}/info' libdir='/NONEXISTANT' libexecdir='/NONEXISTANT' localedir='${datarootdir}/locale' localstatedir='${prefix}/var' mandir='${datarootdir}/man' oldincludedir='/usr/include' pdfdir='${docdir}' prefix='/path/to/ghc-6.8.3' program_transform_name='s,x,x,' psdir='${docdir}' sbindir='${exec_prefix}/sbin' sharedstatedir='${prefix}/com' sysconfdir='${prefix}/etc' target_alias='' It turned out that trailing whitespace in the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS environment variables were causing these problems. see libraries/Makfile: # We rely on all the CONFIGURE_ARGS being quoted with '...', and there # being no 's inside the values.

OK, I suspect this is a real newbie error, but please have mercy. I have downloaded and installed cabal (at least it responds to the --help command from the command line). Yet when I do, say (to give a real example): cabal configure parameterized_ data (having done he fetch) I get this error: cabal.exe: Using 'build-type" Custom' but there is no Setup.hs or Setup.lhs script.' When I download the package manually and look, there is a perfectly servicable Setup.hs script, which I call manually. So what gives? Dave Barton

You mean to run: cabal install parameterized-data "cabal configure" expects to be run inside the build tree. It's looking for a Setup.hs in the current directory. The configure command is for developers working with their own packages locally, rather than for working with released packages directly from hackage. There are basically two sets of commands, those for working with released packages by name, and those for working with a local package in the current directory. I'll tried to make that clearer in the cabal-install README, and perhaps in the --help output in future. Duncan

It's great to read that you are using the parameterized-data package. If you have any questions on its use, or have any suggestions, don't hesitate to ask.
