Unable to build 7.10.1 RC1 on Jessie
I'm trying to build 7.10.1 RC on Debian Jessie.

Thank you Sven and Brandon for your help. I'm now able to build 7.10. -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/Unable-to-build-7-10-1-RC1-on-Jessie-tp5764254p5764259.html Sent from the Haskell - Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

It may be that some minimal amount of C++ support was added just to make it easier to link C++-generated objects into a Haskell program, but autoconf took that (perhaps with reason) as meaning do the full C++ testing bit so now you *must* have it around at configure time. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
