Actually, the need for a second autoconf is described in Section 7.3 of
the Building Guide:
"Some projects, including GHC, have their own configure script. If
there's an $(FPTOOLS_TOP)/<project>/configure.in, then you need to run
autoconf in that directory too."
Since you missed it, it's obviously not clear enough. Could you suggest
some revised wording that would make it clearer?

| Simon,
|
| Thanks.
|
| I checked out as follows:
|
| [dom@tility fptools]$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@glass.cse.ogi.edu:/cvs
| checkout -r
| ghc-5-04-2 ghc hslibs libraries
|
| But got the following. I'm not sure what it's telling me.
|
| configure: creating ./config.status
| config.status: creating mk/config.mk
| config.status: creating mk/config.h
| config.status: executing default commands
| configure: configuring in ghc
| configure: running /bin/sh
| /configure --prefix=/usr/local --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
| ./configure: ./configure: No such file or directory
| configure: error: /bin/sh ./configure failed for ghc
| [dom@tility fptools]$
|
| On the assumption this wasn't serious I then tried
|
| 1004 cd ../glafp-utils/
| 1005 make boot
| 1006 make
| 1007 cd ../ghc
| 1008 make boot
| [dom@tility ghc]$
|
| but got the following:
|
| /usr/bin/ghc -M -optdep-f -optdep.depend -osuf
| o -ldl -cpp -DPKG_TOOL -DWANT_PRETTY -package lang -package util
-package
| text -O Main.hs Package.hs ParsePkgConfLite.hs
| make all

|
| Aha. It seems that the libraries tree is not independent of the 'ghc'
| tree; this is because the 'base/GHC/' subtree is absolutely GHC
| specific.
|
| The quickest workaround is to check out ghc/ as well as libraries/,
and
| say 'make boot' in the ghc tree. Don't forget to do the 'configure'
| stuff.
|
| Also, compiling the libraries tree probably assumes that you want to
use
| the ghc in the same tree. You may need to add 'HC=ghc' to your 'make'
| calls.

| | Hi Dominic,
| |
| | There are two ways to add libraries: do it directly in a GHC tree
| using
| | our build infrastructure, or try to do it on your own. We tried to
| get
| | some interest going in developing a separate build infrastructure
for
| | people in your position (see discussions on the GHC lists), but that
| | effort seems to be stalled.
| |
| | Cheers,
| | Simon
