Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Hi Bill

Yes,GHC will run on your new MacBook Air. The cpu in that is Apple Silicon
, the aarch64-apple-darwin platform. Older Macs run on Intel chips,
the x86_64-apple-darwin platform.

I'm not sure how you installed the compiler. I believe the standard way is
described on https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/. Can you tell us how you
installed it?

Thanks
George

Help! Can't build HEAD

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Aargh!  I can't build HEAD!

I get this:
./hadrian/build
Up to date
]0;Starting... ]0;Finished in 0.04s Error, file does not exist and no rule
available:
  utils/hpc/hpc-bin.cabal
Build failed.


This is after
hadrian/build clean
./boot
./configure

I'm very stalled.  All my trees are borked.  Can anyone help?

You need to run `git submodule update` I think.

Ah.

rm utils/hpc
git submodule update

does the job.  Who would have guessed that?  Maybe this thread will help
others.

Could hadrian have avoided this, perhaps?

Anyway, I'm rolling again, thanks

Re[2]: Help! Can't build HEAD

[Sebastian Graf]

Hi Simon,

I had that very issue a few days ago, but saw this thread too late.
For me it was enough to cd into utils/hpc and do a `git checkout .`.

Coordination on FreeBSD CI, default WinIO and Info Tables profiling work

[Hécate]

Hi everyone,

I have created topical aggregators of tickets that go beyond the rhythm 
of releases (aka. "epics") for  the following topics:


* Info Tables Profiling: https://gitlab.haskell.org/groups/ghc/-/epics/3

* Setting WinIO "on" by default: 
https://gitlab.haskell.org/groups/ghc/-/epics/4


* FreeBSD CI revival: https://gitlab.haskell.org/groups/ghc/-/epics/5

These epics have no deadline and their purpose is to track the evolution 
of our workload for certain "big" tasks that go beyond a single ticket.


They are also useful as they are a (albeit imprecise) tool to help 
determine after the fact the magnitude of a project and the efforts it 
took. This will certainly be helpful for future estimations.


And finally their prime purpose is to enable more awareness about our 
co-contributors work, so that we get all a better sense of what it takes 
to do certain things. :)


Please do feel free to create your own for projects that are not fit for 
a single milestone (or are not related to release milestones at all).



Cheers,
Hécate

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Hi Bill

I'm cc'ing GHC dev and GHC users as someone else may have a better answer,
catch a mistake I made etc. Please don't delete them.

I believe you have encountered
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206

I believe the way to fix this is to do the following:

rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
./configure
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo make install


However I am unsure why you are encountering this as the issue is supposed
to have been fixed.

Cheers
George

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[Brandon Allbery]

That seems unlikely; it would report a permission error in that case,
not that it had the wrong architecture.

 Hi Bill

 Yes,GHC will run on your new MacBook Air. The cpu in that is Apple Silicon 
 , the aarch64-apple-darwin platform. Older Macs run on Intel chips, the 
 x86_64-apple-darwin platform.

 I'm not sure how you installed the compiler. I believe the standard way is 
 described on https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/. Can you tell us how you 
 installed it?

 Thanks
 George

It may be that the reason is either a GHC bug
(https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23009) or further changes
by Apple (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23115)

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

Bill

For your latest problem

 libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot
check it for malicious software.

Did you try what I wrote in my last email:

 rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
./configure
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo make install

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Hi William

I think it's best if you submit a bug as described here


Whether in email or in the bug report it is critical that you describe how
the reader can reproduce the bug, i.e. starting from the beginning,
describe what you did and what error message(s) you got.

Regards,
George

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Hi Bill,

It's easy to forget to do replay all in gmail but it's important to do so
in these emails.

In your original email you wrote:

After installing the compiler, my laptop said its processor was wrong for
the binary distribution I chose. If there is a dmg file for *MacOS 12.5.1,*
please please link your reply to it.


Can you confirm that you no longer have the problem "of processor was wrong
for the binary distribution I chose." ?

My understanding is that after that you got the error:

libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot
check it for malicious software.

I then suggested you had encountered
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206  and I
suggested you do:

 rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
./configure
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo make install


You said you did and got a warning "that some program wanted to access my
photos when I don't have any."

Can you repeat those steps and cut and paste your terminal session into an
email?

Unfortunately I am too busy to continue replying but with the above I think
somebody will be able to help you.

Cheers,
George

Somehow I missed that it is now working for you. Great! Definitely no need
to report a bug. Haskell is a great language. Enjoy!

 Hi William

 I think it's best if you submit a bug as described here
 

 Whether in email or in the bug report it is critical that you
 describe how the reader can reproduce the bug, i.e. starting from the
 beginning,  describe what you did and what error message(s) you got.

 Regards,
 George

 That seems unlikely; it would report a permission error in that
 case,
 not that it had the wrong architecture.
