Hello all, I'm running x86_64 system with ghc 7.4.2.
I noticed quite a while ago that some recently updated Haskell packages failed to build on my machine. The odd thing was that they installed just fine from the binary cache (after they appeared there) and with cabal-dev. E.g. when building git-annex locally with nix with MissingH package installed from the binary cache it reported some wild errors about not finding some functions that were supposed to be in MissingH. A couple of git pulls from nixpkgs back, cabal reported containers-<ghc-version>-<hash> installed from the binary cache to be broken. Ditto for ghc-mod package. The "solution" I found was to make a "noop" change to pkgs/build-support/cabal/default.nix to have all haskell packages rebuild without the cache. I saw cabal saying something weird about ghc package database on the way, but it built just fine. Just to be sure that it is not the hardware to blame, I built my desktop's configuration.nix on the other machine and saw exactly the same things happen. Cheers, Jan Malakhovski _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
