autoreconf
Are there docs somewhere that still tell you to run autoreconf?
sh boot
This step is new and, of course, I skipped it on first try. The README
mentions it but why is it necessary at all? Couldn't this be done as
part of configure?
It runs autoreconf, for the root and also all of the libraries.
Ah, I didn't realise that it replaces autoreconf. I thought it was just
supposed to be an additional step. Thanks for the clarification.
configure
Works, but the first line of output is strange:
checking for GHC version date... darcs: getFdStatus: invalid argument
(Bad file descriptor)
Does
darcs changes --quiet --no-summary --xml | head -500 | grep 'date=' | sed
"s/^.*date='\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\).*$/\1/g" | sort -n |
tail -1
give the same error? Hmm, I think that's really supposed to be "tail -n 1" - I
wonder if that's what's causing the problem.
Indeed, even darcs changes --quiet --no-summary --xml | head -1 gives
the same error, I assume because darcs tries to write to its stdout
after head has closed its stdin. Looks like a darcs bug to me (FWIW, I'm
using 1.0.8). Again, this is on OS X. BTW, head -1 and head -n 1 are the
same on the systems I know of.
Also, IMO Haddock errors should never be treated as fatal by
the build system.
When we're making releases or building distro packages we want the build
to fail if making the docs fails. We also want a big flag at the very
least during the nightly builds.
Yeah, I can see that. Still, it's rather annoying if I'm just doing a
private build and it falls over because of haddock issues. I can live
with it, though.
Thanks for fixing this stuff.
Roman
