I know why that error happens (and was expecting it to) but I'm surprised the build fails for you. What is happening is that when make starts, it tries to read all the included .dep files, which of course don't exist. So it tries to do what it can with the rules it has to build those files. The first thing it tries to build is the deps for c2hs. Once it does that, it continues building as far as it can (which is up until it gets to that Errors.hs file), after which it re-reads all the .dep files it can and starts completely over from scratch. It seems on your Mac installation make is quitting entirely, instead of just rereading the .dep file and building the c2hs sources in the correct order. What I wanted to figure out is if there was a way to have make reread a .dep file immediately after it's generated, instead of trying to build all the other .dep files first, then rereading them when that fails. So it sounds like your linux maching behaved the way I expected to, but your Mac didn't.
I think I might have a solution for this, but I'm still thinking about it. In the mean time, running make twice should work fine and give correct results. > 2) > > I forgot to add ListSort.hs to the extra dist files, hence it is not > included in the tarball and 'make installcheck' fails.
