OK. How do I “try with python2 instead”? SImon

(If it’s installed I think the testsuite would pick it up automatically). Python3 is marked as experimental in the testsuite PYTHON3 = sys.version_info >= (3, 0) if PYTHON3: print("*** WARNING: running testsuite using Python 3.\n" "*** Python 3 support is experimental. See Trac #9184.") And based on that trac, it routinely breaks..

Now I can build GHC…. Real progress. But I still can’t validate: sh validate using THREADS=5 make: Entering directory '/c/code/HEAD/utils/checkUniques' ./check-uniques.py ../.. Traceback (most recent call last): File "./check-uniques.py", line 39, in <module> uniques = find_uniques(glob.glob(os.path.join(top_dir, 'compiler', 'prelude', '*.hs'))) File "./check-uniques.py", line 15, in find_uniques ms = unique_re.findall(open(f).read()) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 15185: ordinal not in range(128) make: *** [Makefile:8: check] Error 1 make: Leaving directory '/c/code/HEAD/utils/checkUniques' /c/code/HEAD$ Any ideas about what might be happening? The Python version is 3.4.3.

That sounds very plausible. I’ll try. Maybe it’s a path-ordering thing. It would be very cool if ‘configure’ checked that ‘find’ was the find it was expecting, not Windows find. Dunno how to do that, but that check would have saved us a lot of time. (For most other utils, weget, curl etc, there is no Windows program with the same name. But for ‘find’, there is.)

That the download script doesn’t output nothing makes sense now since the hashes of the files match. I *think* what’s going on here is that for some reason you don’t have findutils installed and it’s instead using The windows “find” utility, which generates that error.
