Dear list,
I have a GHC source tree in ghc-working. I would like to have a separate build
tree in ghc-build,
so I did something like this:
mkdir ghc-build
cd ghc-build
lndir ../ghc-working
Now, I have two different machines. On openSUSE with git 1.8.0 I get something
like this:
[killy@xerxes : /dane/uczelnia/projekty/ghc-build] ./configure
checking for gfind... no
checking for find... /usr/bin/find
checking for GHC version date... configure: WARNING: cannot determine snapshot
version: no .git or
_darcs directory and no VERSION file
Despite the warning configure succeeds. On Debian Squeeze with git 1.7.10 the
same thing doesn't
work:
[killy@GLaDOS : /dane/uczelnia/projekty/ghc-build] ./configure
checking for gfind... no
checking for find... /usr/bin/find
checking for GHC version date... fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the
parent
directories): .git
configure: error: failed to detect version date: check that git is in your path
Does anyone have a clue why this happens? There are probably some differences
on these systems
with the most obvious one being git version. On both systems however git
doesn't recognize
ghc-build as a valid git repository ('git status' failes), but on one of them
this is only a
warning while on another this is an error. Any advice will be appreciated.
Janek
