Re: compiling from src error: FastString interface file
oops, you;re quite right. i fell for the same bug as in "Compiling from source does not work" from the mailing list archive. this was in the gmake boot output ../../happy/src/happy +RTS -K2m -H10m -RTS -1.2-g rename/ParseIface.y gmake[2]: execve: ../../happy/src/happy: No such file or directory gmake[2]: *** [rename/ParseIface.hs] Error 127 cheers byron On Mon, 1 Dec 1997, Sigbjorn Finne wrote: Byron Cook writes: when compiling 2.09 from src on "SunOS lassi 5.5.1 Generic_103640-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1" I encountered the following error mesg after executing the command (./configure;gmake boot;gmake) ghc-0.29 -cpp -fglasgow-exts -Rghc-timing -I. -IcodeGen -InativeGen -Iparser -iutils:b asicTypes:types:hsSyn:prelude:rename:typecheck:deSugar:coreSyn:specialise:simplCore:st ranal:stgSyn:simplStg:codeGen:absCSyn:main:reader:profiling:parser:nativeGen -fhaskell -1.3 -fomit-derived-read -fomit-reexported-instances -fvia-C '-#include"hspincl.h"' -c parser/U_binding.hs -o parser/U_binding.o -osuf o "parser/U_binding.hs", line 6, column 22: can't find interface (.hi) file for module " FastString" on input: "FastString" gmake[2]: *** [parser/U_binding.o] Error 1 If parser/U_binding.hs is the first file you're compiling inside ghc/compiler, then the above failure is likely to be due to 'make boot' in ghc/compiler not completing successfully.
