The branch is called ghc-7.2, not just 7.2.
Thanks, fixing this gets me further. I think my git repo got into a weird state where it though there really was a branch called '7.2'. I still can't manage to build it though. Following the instructions on the GHC wiki gets me: $ git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git/ $ cd ghc $ ./sync-all --testsuite get $ ./sync-all checkout ghc-7.2 $ perl boot ; ./configure ; make -j8 "inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" configure --with-ghc="/Users/benl/devel/ghc/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" --with-ghc-pkg="/Users/benl/devel/ghc/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg" --enable-library-profiling --enable-shared --enable-library-for-ghci --configure-option=CFLAGS=" -m32 -fno-stack-protector " --configure-option=LDFLAGS=" -m32 " --configure-option=CPPFLAGS=" -m32 " --with-gcc="/usr/bin/gcc" --configure-option=--with-cc="/usr/bin/gcc" --with-ar="/usr/bin/ar" --with-ranlib="ranlib" -- dist-install libraries/Cabal/cabal Configuring Cabal-1.11.0... ghc-cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing: base >=4 && <3 && >=2 && <5, unix >=2.0 && <2.5 make[1]: *** [libraries/Cabal/cabal/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Ben. _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
