Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 477 by daniel.w...@gmail.com: report missing GHC http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=477 Reported on behalf of plat0 from #xmonad: Severity: wishlist (I suppose) If ghc is not installed and I press Alt-Q to recompile and restart I get the error: "Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/tom/.xmonad/xmonad.hs Please check the file for errors." This is rather unhelpful since it doesn't actually highlight the true cause, and had me scratching me head for quite a while.
Updates: Status: Started Labels: Type-Defect Component-Core Comment #1 on issue 477 by vogt.a...@gmail.com: report missing GHC http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=477 There's this applied patch for the same complaint. With a missing ghc (and if the shell is bash), you get an ExitCode 127. Tue Apr 26 02:23:41 EDT 2011 Jens Petersen * output error code when xmonad.hs compile fails without any error output Currently if there is no ghc on the path say for some reason, xmonad.error is empty. This patch makes it output the exitcode code when the compile process fails without any error output. (It might be easier just to spawn a shell to get "ghc: command not found" output for free.)
