Jost,

this is not good indeed, could you be so kind and let us know your nm
--version? I guess mingw is using GNU binutils so I'm curious what old
nm it is when it fails to implement POSIX output...

I can see that the failing nm is one that came with ghc-7.6.3 (I installed a binary tarball from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.6.3/) which is copied into the build tree.

jost@ibm-jost ~/ghc
$ C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/jost/ghc/inplace/mingw/bin/nm.exe --version
GNU nm (GNU Binutils) 2.20.51.20100613

The nm version that came with MinGW itself is this:

jost@ibm-jost ~/ghc
$ which nm; nm --version
/c/MinGW/bin/nm.exe
GNU nm (GNU Binutils) 2.23.2

But it produces the same output

jost@ibm-jost ~/ghc
$ nm -P includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/tmp.o | head
.bss b 00000000
.data d 00000000
.drectve i 00000000
.rdata$zzz r 00000000
.text t 00000000
_derivedConstantAP_STACK_SPLIM C 00000401
_derivedConstantBITMAP_BITS_SHIFT C 00000006
_derivedConstantBLOCK_SIZE C 00001001
_derivedConstantBLOCKS_PER_MBLOCK C 000000ff
_derivedConstantCINT_SIZE C 00000005


This installation is not very old (last December, mostly following
  https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Windows
but taking some shortcuts ). The MSYS2 solution described on a sub-page did not work on the 32-bit Vista (pacman did not work)

jost@ibm-jost ~/ghc
$ uname -a
MINGW32_NT-6.0 IBM-JOST 1.0.18(0.48/3/2) 2012-11-21 22:34 i686 Msys

I am not sure whether anything would actually break if deriveConstants.hs accepted and parsed this nm output as a fallback if it sees it. Will give it a try.

Thanks!
Karel

Hello,

With the patch to deriveConstants, a build on an older Windows (32bit
Vista, MinGW32 installation, which used to work) now fails with error

Can't find "STD_HDR_SIZE"

I ran the nm command manually on the generated o file
(includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/tmp.o) and saw that the output
follows pattern

_derivedConstantBlaBlah_Blah C 000001b

so it does not match the four-word pattern in the patch.

Is this a problem with my setup, or does it fail for other people on
Windows as well?

Thanks,
Jost
