Oh Ive no idea if the person who comitted this code ran validate, what I
mean was that it looks from the code like it would not have helped:
module Distribution.System where
data OS = Linux | Windows Windows | Other String
data Windows = MingW
os :: OS
os =
#if defined(linux_HOST_OS)
Linux
#elif defined(mingw32_HOST_OS)
Windows MingW
#else
Other System.Info.os
#endif
System.Info.os is used without being imported only if linux_HOST_OS and
mingw32_HOST_OS are not defined. Why that might be failing on linux too
I have no idea. I'm going to rearrange the code so it does not use cpp,
something along the lines of:
os :: OS
os = case System.os of
"linux" -> Linux
"mingw32" -> Windows MingW
"darwin" -> OSX
"solaris2" -> Solaris
other -> Other other
btw, anyone any idea why Solaris gets "solaris2" ? This is an artifact
of ghc's configure.ac script.
