RE: Win32 build of ghc from cvs failed; also 6.4 source distribution

Sigbjorn,

I believe this is to do with you.

ghc/lib/compat/cbits has a definition of hscore_getFolderPath, but only if GHC < 6.4.

But Conal is compiling with GHC 6.4, so he doesn’t get hscore_getFolderPath

But somehow he needs it (see below); his build fails.

Could you possibly fix this?

Thanks

Simon

Here is another attempt, from scratch, to get and build GHC on Windows XP. I’ve omitted a lot of output (“[…]”) but included some warning messages. Do you spot any goofs in my steps? Do these messages indicate problems? BTW, I updated cygwin this week and got a fresh mingw. - Conal

Thanks. I did start from scratch, but I did not use “-d”. Is that flag recommended anywhere in the build instructions? How ought I use it? The only mention I saw was this one saying not to. - Conal

Your first failure has the smell of old droppings – failing to do cvs –d, or having old files liying around.

I would check out a completely fresh tree, to keep matters simple.

As to the second, I have no clue, but again, starting from scratch with a fresh tree might help. It smells like a configuration problem.

The HEAD changes daily. to get it, use

cvs update –A

The STABLE branch is 6.4 plus any bug-fixes to date. 6.4.1 will come from here. To get it, use

cvs update –r ghc-6.4-branch

It’s more stable than the HEAD, but only bugfixes to 6.4 end up there, nothing major.

I’m trying to build GHC for the first time (on Windows XP). I’m running into compile failures both on a fresh CVS checkout and on the 6.4 source distribution. I could sure use some help at this point. If there’s a more suitable alias for me to use, please say so.

With the CVS version, after “autoreconf” and “./configure --host=i386-unknown-mingw32 --with-gcc=c:/mingw/bin/gcc”, running make ended as follows:

../../../glafp-utils/mkdependC/mkdependC -f .depend -I../../includes -- -mno-cygwin -O -- cbits/directory.c cbits/rawSystem.c

With the 6.4 source distribution, compilation got *much* further and ended in this way:

make[1]: *** [all] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Temp/ghc-6.4/libraries'

make: *** [build] Error 1

Any pointers?

Also, for CVS, how do I specify in my cvs checkout command that I want STABLE vs HEAD? is there an explanation somewhere of these two choices and are there others?

TIA,

- Conal
