Re: Buglist compiling 2.05 with 2.05 for Linux

[Sigbjorn Finne]

 
 after succesfully compiling ghc 2.05 with ghc 0.29 on Linux (with Sven
 Pannes Patch) I now do try to compile 2.05 with 2.05 and found some
 small bugs. After doing this corrections it compiled without any
 further problems.
 

Thanks, I've incorporated the fixes you had to make into the current
sources.

More questions on installing 2.05

[Ian Collier]

I apologise for jumping in with more questions, but I have at least joined
the list now.

So, ghc-2.05 finished compiling, apparently.  It didn't take much longer
than a week. :-)

I had to add GhcHcOpts=-H12m to my build file to get it to stop complaining
(12m was a guess, but the default of 6m was definitely too small).  I would
have thought this would have been added as necessary by the developers to
avoid me having to increase the size globally - it's also not the sort of
thing I would expect to know before starting the compilation.

Anyway...

Question 1: Why doesn't "make check" do any tests?

Question 2: Why doesn't "make install" install any docs?  

Question 3: How do I even make the docs?  Why do the docs directories
contain Makefiles that don't seem to do anything?  I've tried running
"lit2latex" on each *.lit file in the ghc/docs/users_guide directory,
which produces several *.tex files and lots of errors, but none of the
resulting .tex files contains a \document(style|class) command.  And I
don't seem to have a "literate" document style file either, though I can
see it is referenced in user.lit.

Re: Problems with profiling when using -Ofile

Great stuff - when compiling with -prof, one STG options that has to be
set is -fmassage-stg-for-profiling. This isn't done by the driver for
-Ofile (though it should be), so either you have to provide a separate
options file for -prof, or you have to patch the driver. I've appended
the patch (wrt. 2.05), if you should choose the latter.

HTH,

Buglist compiling 2.05 with 2.05 for Linux

[Stefan Westmeier]

Hi,

after succesfully compiling ghc 2.05 with ghc 0.29 on Linux (with Sven
Pannes Patch) I now do try to compile 2.05 with 2.05 and found some
small bugs. After doing this corrections it compiled without any
further problems.

I did not use the Readline-Lib. So I did not find any bugs relating to
this.

My build settings are included within 3) as diff for config.mk.

Ciao, Stefan.

3) I did not use build.mk. I prefer to change config.mk directly. So
here are my settings as a diff to the distributed config.mk.
