That confuses me everytime: how can you build up for a release
without working builds?-)

I wasn't talking about working builds, I was talking about a
"Latest Successful Build" column for each builder. If you understand the
build failure then knowing when the last successful build was doesn't
generally help you.

'make; make binary-dist' was recommended to me many years
ago by the folks responsible for making windows snapshots as
the standard way of getting a tar-able relocatable directory full
of GHC goodness on windows, right at the top of the ghc tree
(iirc, one originally had to call some prep-bin-dist-mingw as well).
I've been happy with that procedure since then, provided the
make target isn't broken. Are you saying that has changed as well, and I should use 'make install' instead in future? Is that
less broken right now?

Both should work in general, but last time I checked "install" worked
and "binary-dist" didn't.

However, I think the Windows build is currently broken again anyway.
I've just pushed a few fixes, but with -Werror it fails for me with:

    Linker.c: In function `ocResolve_PEi386':
    Linker.c:2512:0:
         warning: implicit declaration of function `lookupLocalSymbol'

while without -Werror it gets further, but eventually falls over with:

    Linking dist-stage2\build\ghc\ghc.exe ...
    
C:/msys/1.0/home/ian/ghc/rts/libHSrts_thr.a(Linker.thr_o)(.text+0xf9a):Linker.c:
    undefined reference to `lookupLocalSymbol'
    
C:/msys/1.0/home/ian/ghc/rts/libHSrts_thr.a(Linker.thr_o)(.text+0xfc9):Linker.c:
    undefined reference to `lookupLocalSymbol'
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It looks like this was caused by:

    [FIX #2375: remove oc->lochash completely, it apparently isn't used
    Simon Marlow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>**20080730101252] {

Do you know what's going on, Simon?

Sorry, my bad.  I've rolled back the patch and I'm validating a fix.

Cheers,
        Simon
