#3673: ghc-6.12.0 does not include ghc-tarballs/ for libffi?
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: juhpetersen | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Build System
Version: 6.12.1 RC1 | Keywords:
Os: Linux | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
When I try to build latest ghc-6.12.0 nightly snapshots I get:
{{{
cp rts/sm/Scav.c rts/dist/build/sm/Scav_thr.c
"rm" -f -r libffi/build
cd libffi && /bin/gtar -zxf ../ghc-tarballs/libffi/libffi*.tar.gz
done.
"inplace/bin/mkdirhier" bootstrapping
"inplace/bin/mkdirhier" utils/ghc-cabal/dist/build/tmp/
/bin/gtar: ../ghc-tarballs/libffi/libffi*.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such
file or directory
/bin/gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
/bin/gtar: Child returned status 2
/bin/gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
make[2]: *** [libffi/stamp.ffi.configure-shared] Error 2
}}}
A workaround seems to be:
mkdir ghc-tarballs ; ln -s ../libffi/tarball ghc-tarballs/libffi
I see there is http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-tarballs/
but not in the ghc tarball. Is there supposed to be
another tarball for that or better still can system libffi
be used?
