When building hat, I get the error messages below. Despite these error messages the build continues and seems to succeed. Nonetheless I find the error message strange. Why does it search in the nhc98 libraries? I'm building with ghc!
Ah. I can see why this is confusing. The top-level Makefile calls 'hmake' to determine which files from src/hattrans and src/compiler98 are depended upon (-M option): HATTRANS= src/hattrans/Makefile* \ $(shell hmake -package lang -M HatTrans.hs \ -Isrc/hattrans -Isrc/compiler98 \ | cut -d':' -f1 | sed -e 's/\.o$$/.hs/' | sed -e '/^. /d' ) This call of hmake does not actually build anything. Also, it does not specify the compiler to use, since that is largely irrelevant if you aren't building anything. So hmake is selecting your default compiler, nhc98, and hence the error messages. I'm not sure why you get the same error twice in a single invocation of the toplevel Makefile however. Also, in the following code:
#elif __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ >= 502 import Debug.Trace (trace) #else import IOExts (trace) #endif
you omitted to mention the preceding #if defined(__NHC__) import NonStdTrace which should be valid, and should avoid the error. Not sure why this is failing for you. Perhaps you are picking up an older version of hmake in your PATH? Regards, Malcolm
