Re: Compiling GHC 4.02 using the *.hc files on RedHat 6.0 Linux

[Jose Romildo Malaquias]

I am compiling GHC 4.02 from sources using the *.hc files suplied
at the GHC home page. I am doing that on a Linux Red Hat 6.0 machine
(glibc 2.1, egcs 1.1.2). The steps are:

        $ cd /var/tmp
        $ tar -zxf /urano/downloads/haskell/ghc/ghc-4.02-src.tar.gz
        $ cd fptools
        $ tar -zxf /urano/downloads/haskell/ghc/ghc-3.02-hc.tar.gz
        $ ./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/ghc --enable-hc-boot                           
                                 
        $ make boot
        $ make all
        $ ./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/ghc
        $ cd ghc/lib
        $ make clean
        $ make boot
        $ make all
        $ PATHI="/var/tmp/fptools/ghc/driver:$PATH" make install

Now at the "make install" phase I got the following error:

Compilation had errors

make[2]: *** [rename/ParseIface.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.69495 (%install)
==================================================================

If I update the time stamp of ParseIface.o and continue the
process (another "make install") it finishes successfuly.

But I am building an rpm for ghc and I need to *eliminate* the
error completely.

Any help?
