Category: Build System Group: 6.2.1 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 7 Submitted By: Jeff Buhrt (jeffbuhrt) Assigned to: Simon Marlow (simonmar) Summary: ghc won't build/run on Fedora Core 2 on AMD Opteron 64's Initial Comment: 6.2.1 and 5.04.3 will not build on Fedora Core 2 on a AMD Opteron 64 machine. 1) Basic ghc build bombs ghc-6.2.1]$ ./configure checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Canonicalised to: x86_64-unknown-linux checking for path to top of build tree... /home/jbuhrt/ghc-6.2.1 checking for ghc... no checking for nhc... no checking for nhc98... no checking for hbc... no configure: error: GHC is required unless bootstrapping from .hc files. 2) Forcing ghc to run fails: rpm -iv --nodeps ghc-6.2.1-1.i386.rpm Copied from 32bit AMD FC2 /usr/lib/libgmp.so* /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4* darcs-0.9.22]$ ./configure Setting config.command to 'sh ./configure checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for ghc... ghc configure: error: Compile failed. 3) tricks to bootstrap ghc ./configure --without-ghc ... ==fptools== make boot - --no-print-directory -r; in /home/jbuhrt/ghc-6.2.1/ghc/utils/hasktags ------------------------------------------------------------------------ no -M -optdep-f -optdep.depend -osuf o -H16m -O HaskTags.hs make[3]: no: Command not found make[3]: *** [depend] Error 127 4) The fallback seems to be a darcs compiled on a i686 Fedora Core 2 box after bringing along: /usr/lib/libgmp.so* /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4* Note the same trick allows ghc to output a help, but bomb on any compiles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Simon Marlow (simonmar) Date: 2005-01-25 15:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48280 Closing this bug. We still don't have a registerised x86_64 port of ghc, but that won't be the case for very long (hardware arriving soon! *rubs hands with glee*). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jens-Ulrik Petersen (juhp) Date: 2005-01-25 05:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=139853 ghc.i386 works fine for me on Fedora Core x86_64. A unregisterised build of ghc-6.2.2.x86_64 is available from <http://haskell.org/fedora/>. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Simon Marlow (simonmar) Date: 2004-07-16 10:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48280 (1) is expected: GHC requires an installed GHC in order to build. If you don't have an installed GHC, then the docs describe how to bootstrap. Installing from the RPM ought to work (I presume). You said it "bombs" on a compile - what was the error exactly? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108032&aid=992106&group_id=8032 _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
