Request for information on bug #29

Hi (I guess mainly Ross, but others might be able to help as well) http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs/ticket/29 has a comment that pretty much describes what is happening - I can fix it, but don't know what else I might break, and it would likely break on Linux too. This is the single critical bug for the next release that is assigned to me, so I have an interest in fixing it :) Thanks Neil

[Hugs] #33: Extra files installed if docbook2html is not available
by Hugs 05 Aug '06

#33: Extra files installed if docbook2html is not available --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: build system | Version: 200605 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- The "User's guide" included in the Hugs package is only installed by the build procedure when the docbook2html utility is available. This can be seen in the doc/useres_guide/Makefile.am file, whose '$(HTML)' target populates the '$(ROOT)' directory with all the documentation files that will be installed. The problem is that even if docbook2html is not available, the package installs two files in the target documentation directory: '$(CSS_FILE)' and '$(IMAGE)', both of which are useless without the real documents in place. This is not a big problem but makes the resulting installation "ugly". If I did not want to build documentation in the first place, I do not want any related files to be installed. The solution is to only installs those files when the docbook2html utility is available. (I'm not too familiar with Trac, so I'm going to submit this and hope that I can later attach the proposed patch... as Bugzilla does.) Submitted by: Julio M.

[Hugs] #34: Incorrect prefix in installed files
by Hugs 05 Aug '06

#34: Incorrect prefix in installed files -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: jmmv(a)NetBSD.org | Owner: nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: hugs | Version: 200605 Keywords: | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Both the complete distribution (hugs98-plus) and the reduced one (hugs98) come with some packages that provide standard APIs. For example, the two include, at least, the Cabal, base and haskell98 packages. These packages are built and installed by the "global" build procedure through the bootstrapping interpreter, using the not-yet-installed Cabal. However, the installation prefix is not propagated to the built packages resulting in incorrect paths in the installed files. In my case, I'm using the following to configure Hugs (really, this is the command the NetBSD package uses): {{{ ./configure --prefix=/usr/pkg }}} After installation, the Paths_base.hs file of the installed packages looks like: {{{ bindir = "/usr/local/bin" libdir = "/usr/local/lib/hugs/packages/base" datadir = "/usr/local/share/base-1.0" libexecdir = "/usr/local/libexec" }}} And similarly for all other Paths_base.hs files in other packages. The above inconsistencies in the installed paths files lead to runtime problems later. For example, when running the installed Cabal with the installed Hugs (not the bootstrapping one) to configure other packages, the utility is unable to find some of its files. The attached patch fixes this issue by propagating prefix's value to the programs executed in the middle of the build procedure. I'm afraid this problem might also affect other variables that should be propagated but which are not currently. Submitted by: Julio M.
