I am trying to build ghc-2.04 on linux, i486 ...
using ghc-0.29 installed earlier. The questions arise.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I downloaded ghc-2.04-src-pl2.tar.gz, unzipped-untarred it.
Then no *patches* have to be applied?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
config.mk.in contains GhcProjectPatchLevel =0
is this right?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
config.mk.in contains mkdependHS_1_2 = mkdependHS-1.2
But where is defined mkdependHS-1.2 ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Many lines in config.mk.in contain @..@ values. Say,
FPTOOLS_TOP_ABS = @hardtop@ - where @hardtop@ initiates ?
HOSTPLATFORM = @HostPlatform@
TARGETPLATFORM = @TargetPlatform@
With this, for what target platform it will build?
For I had never set this manually - should I?
Also:
# Installation directories ...
prefix = @prefix@
exec_prefix = @exec_prefix@
...
Where these things will really install?
------------------------------------------------------------------
# ToDo: check if these can be purged now. -- sof
#
@HostPlatform_CPP@_HOST = 1
@HostPlatform_CPP@_TARGET = 1
...
What does this mean?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I made a link copy tree ..../myfptools-linux (== $(TOP))
Then commanded
cd $(TOP); ./configure; make boot
`make boot' reports
info.c:69: sgtty.h: No such file or directory
In file included from /usr/include/pwd.h:30,
from makeinfo.c:79:
among its messages. Will this do?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Then I create $(TOP)/mk/build.mk with the contents:
-----------------------------------------------------------
GhcUseGccForOptAsm=NO
# to test fast whether `make' is workable
BuildingParallel=NO
BuildingConcurrent=NO
BuildingProfiling=NO
BuildingGranSim=NO
BuildingProfilingConcurrent=NO
GhcLibWays=
NoFibSubDirs = GHC_ONLY
-----------------------------------------------------------
Then commanded make all
It works for several hours, reports many good messages, and also
this one (for many modules):
Warning: InitTime not found in stats file
Warning: InitElapsed not found in stats file
Then it comes
ghc/PrelBase.lhs:10:9: parse error on input: Segmentation fault
caught, address = 75640072
make[2]: *** [ghc/PrelBase.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
Then come several messages of this sort and abort.
Please, advise.
