It seems that the old, pre-Cabal build system did not clean some or all of the preprocessed files (such as Parser.hs). This was not much of a problem in practice, because the Makefiles used the relative timestamps to tell whether to regenerate Parser.hs from Parser.y. In contrast, Cabal stores all generated files in a separate directory (compiler/dist-stage[1/2]), and thus doesn't need to look at relative timestamps; so it gets confused by the old, leftover Parser.hs et al. Ironically this is another reason that switching to Cabal is a win -- cleaning of preprocessed files happens automatically. Unfortunately, though, it looks like all of those leftover preprocessed files will need to be deleted manually (but only this one time). The following command worked for me (run inside the 'compilers' directory); find . -name "*.x" -or -name "*.y" -or -name "*.hsc" | sed 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1.hs/' | xargs rm Or you can just delete these files by hand: compiler/cmm/CmmLex.hs compiler/cmm/CmmParse.hs compiler/ghci/LibFFI.hs compiler/main/ParsePkgConf.hs compiler/parser/HaddockLex.hs compiler/parser/HaddockParse.hs compiler/parser/Lexer.hs compiler/parser/ParserCore.hs compiler/utils/Fingerprint.hs Hope that helps, -Judah _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
