Summary: I'm trying to build GHC, but cannot find fptools/ghc/configure
I need to use the most recent version of GHC, so have followed
the CVS checkout instructions on:
http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/ghc/cvs-cheat-sheet.html
This gives me a top-level fptools directory, with no ./configure
file, though the README says that ./configure is the first step.
But upon reading the Makefile, I found I could generate ./configure by:
make -f Makefile.config ./configure
Done.
But then ./configure stops with:
configuring in ghc
running /bin/sh ./configure --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=.
./configure: ./configure: No such file or directory
configure: error: ./configure failed for ghc
How do I fix this (or generate ghc/configure)?
(I assume this is necessary, because trying a 'make boot' or 'make'
command in the fptools directory gives the error:
...
make: *** docbook: No such file or directory. Stop.
make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1
make: *** [boot] Error 1
)
This is on a Redhat 6.2 Linux box, Pentium III 500Mhz...
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Thanks.
Mark.
