Hi everyone, I was trying to install ghc and faced the same problem with ghc-bootstrap 7.0.4_0 as others. https://trac.macports.org/search?q=ghc-bootstrap&noquickjump=1&portsummarysearch=on
But I was trying to install a prebuilt package of ghc. It is ghc @7.6.3_4 +gcc48. ghc-bootstrap is stated as build dependency. But I don't build anything. As far as I can imagine there is no need in ghc-bootstrap in this case. So I wonder is ghc-bootstrap really required for installing prebuilt ghc package? (I don't mean port implementation details. :) The cost of installing ghc-bootstrap is quite high $ du -hs /opt/local/share/ghc-bootstrap /opt/local/var/macports/software/ghc-bootstrap 647M /opt/local/share/ghc-bootstrap 98M /opt/local/var/macports/software/ghc-bootstrap It also costs 98Mb of traffic, not just disk space. Imho, it is not worth to do all that extra stuff and use that much extra disk until it is actually required. By the way, ghc-bootstrap @7.0.4_1+gcc48 still fails # port install ghc-bootstrap ---> Computing dependencies for ghc-bootstrap ---> Fetching archive for ghc-bootstrap ---> Attempting to fetch ghc-bootstrap-7.0.4_1+gcc48.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 from http://lil.fr.packages.macports.org/ghc-bootstrap ---> Attempting to fetch ghc-bootstrap-7.0.4_1+gcc48.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2.rmd160 from http://lil.fr.packages.macports.org/ghc-bootstrap ---> Installing ghc-bootstrap @7.0.4_1+gcc48 ---> Activating ghc-bootstrap @7.0.4_1+gcc48 ---> Cleaning ghc-bootstrap ---> Updating database of binaries: 100.0% ---> Scanning binaries for linking errors: 98.6% Warning: Error parsing file /opt/local/share/ghc-bootstrap/lib/ghc-7.0.4/HSffi.o: Premature end of data, possibly corrupt file ---> Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0% ---> No broken files found. # uname -a Darwin s.local 11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:26:45 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 # port version Version: 2.2.1 -- Regards Alex _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
