Sean Leather:
Manuel M T Chakravarty:
I can't help you with the PPC, but on the MacBook try building with
make EXTRA_AR_ARGS=-s
It's a known bug with Cabal.
Thanks, Manuel, it builds now.
Afterwards, I ran 'make' in 'testsuite/tests/ghc-regress' and got
this:
OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Mon Feb 18 17:55:20 CET 2008
2084 total tests, which gave rise to
10640 test cases, of which
0 caused framework failures
2160 were skipped
7487 expected passes
372 expected failures
0 unexpected passes
621 unexpected failures
That seems like a large number of unexpected failures; however, I
haven't seen a summary from a build of Mac OS X on x86, so I don't
know what to expect.
At a glance, many of the failures refer to ghci (at least that's what
I assume the "(ghci)" next to the name means). Here is a sample:
I haven't run the full test suite on the 6.8 branch. Try
make Validating=YES fast stage=2 CLEANUP=1
That should go through (sometimes when test outputs changes due to
changes on the HEAD), it takes a while until the tests are adapted to
expect different outputs for 6.8.
