Category: Build System Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: John A. Murdie (jamurdie) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Shell syntax error when building from source Initial Comment: When attempting to build 5.04.2 from source on a Slackware 8.1 Linux system and the following commands, I see: $ rpm2tgz ghc-5.04.2-1.src.rpm $ cd ghc-5.04.2 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ghc-5.04.2 --enable-hopengl --with-x --with-Mesa $ make ... Creating main/Config.hs ... done. rm -f prelude/primops.txt gcc -E -I../includes -traditional -x c prelude/primops.txt.pp | /usr/bin/sed -e '/^#/d' > prelude/primops.txt ../utils/genprimopcode/genprimopcode --data-decl < prelude/primops.txt > primop-data-decl.hs-incl /bin/sh: ../utils/genprimopcode/genprimopcode: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [primop-data-decl.hs-incl] Error 127 make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/ghc/ghc-5.04.2/ghc' make: *** [all] Error 1 $ I think I've followed the `Building from source' chapter of the `Building' document carefully. I can supply more detail if you wish. John A.

If you don't have GHC installed, then see the section on "Porting GHC" in the building guide. I thought the documentation mentioned this, but now that I look it doesn't seem to, and the error message is far from enlightening. I'll look into fixing these. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John A. Murdie (jamurdie) Date: 2003-02-14 17:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=709964 My guess is that this problem occurred because I haven't built `Happy'. That being so, why ddn't the configure script stop with an error message to this effect? Also, there's no mention of the need for `Happy' in chapter 7 `Building from source' that I can see, only in chapter 6 of the documentation. Am I right? John A.
