I've tried to build a binary dist on x86 under Solaris and did not succeed.

"make binary-dist" failed with

The file bindist-list contained "{}" instead of filenames, so I changed

P.S. I hope the OpenSPARC project will work under Solaris and sort out
the above issues. (Validating under Solaris would be a good idea, too.)

This part could be done a little bit different (without the
conditional):

...
# And enything else
echo $(BINDIST_EXTRAS) | \
xargs -n1 | \
sed '/^$/d;s/.*/test -e & \&\& echo $(WHERE_AM_I)\/&/' | \
sh >> $(BIND_DIST_LIST)

(untested!)

I doubt `-e' doesn't work on Solaris, because `-e' is POSIX. Does
this "argument expected" still appear with your fix to 1.?

Or use pax(1), which in contrast to tar(1) and gtar(1) is POSIX:

pax -hwf $(BIN_DIST_TAR) < $(BIN_DIST_LIST)

(also untested, but should work)

Or just omit all the -exec echo ${WHERE_AM_I}/{} goo and use find(1)
and sed(1), e.g.:

find $(WHATEVER) -print | sed 's/^/$(WHERE_AM_I}\//'

It does not work on my system (SunOS 5.10 Generic_137112-07 i86pc):
 -bash-3.1$ sh
 $ test -e log
 test: argument expected
 $ exit
 -bash-3.1$ test -e log

I tried it out in Emacs, but ghci always displays some sort of garbage message. 
For example, when I ask for the value of 0, I get:
0^J0

Is it because ghci switched to libedit? I'm running Emacs-23 with haske-mode-
cvs on Debian unstable.

Do you have the libedit-dev package installed?  If not, the editline
backend may not have been built.  You can check whether it was built
by running ghci from a command prompt and checking whether the arrow
keys work.

I forgot to mention that I was running the binary package -- didn't bother to 
build ghc from source. Because the binary package relies on libedit.so.0 and 
Debian only comes with libedit2, I created a symbolic link for libedit.so.0 
pointing to libedit.so.2. Could that be a problem for Emacs? But the libedit 
backend works fine when running ghci from a command line.

Thanks,

This means that the editline package could not be built for some
reason.  Is this on your OS X machine?  If so, it's strange because
libedit should be installed on OS X by default; what OS version are
you running?  If you separately download and build the editline
package from hackage, what errors do you get?

> Why are there 2 base packages?

base-3.0.3 is a compatibility package which provides the same API as
in ghc-6.8.*.  The base-4 package has the new API (for example,
extensible exceptions).

Unfortunately, this will only find files with the executable bit
set for user, group and owner, so it should be "-perm +111". However,
even more unfortunately, at least the find(1) on OpenBSD doesn't
support the +mode pattern. This isn't a problem, because bindist
isn't very useful at all on OpenBSD, but it may be a problem on
other systems (I don't know what implementation of find(1) are used
on FreeBSD, NetBSD and MacOS X).

A workaround *may* be to use "-perm -100" (setting the execute bit
for group and others but not for the user would be really weird).

According to
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/95399/utilities/find.html
`-perm +onum' (where onum is an octal number) seems to be yet another
gnuism, so `-perm -100' is probably the most portable (and least
breaking) option for any system not using gfind.

Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 6.10.1 beta

2008-09-23 Thread Paul Jarc
I ran into some problems due to having gmp installed in an unusual
place.  I passed --with-gmp-{includes,libraries} to ./configure, set
$CPPFLAGS and $LDFLAGS for ./configure, and set the corresponding
-optl, etc., flags in SRC_HC_OPTS and GHC_CC_OPTS in mk/build.mk.

With all that, the first problem I hit was with utils/pwd/pwd.
./configure builds it by calling ghc without any special flags, so the
binary can't find libgmp.so at runtime.  I got past this by editing
./configure to add the necessary flags to the build command, but I
wonder if turning pwd into a C program would be less troublesome.

The next problem was with cabal-bin.  The command to build it didn't
use SRC_HC_OPTS, so the binary couldn't find libgmp.so.  I used this
patch:

I'm not sure how to fix this.  I assume there's some way to pass

Hi Judah,

libedit is simply missing. but ghci used to work with readline! Do I
need to install i.e.
http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/libedit-20080712-2.11.tar.gz
as a static library in order to create code depending on libedit that
can be run on machines without libedit? (This reminds me to the gmp and

Sure, if you're talking about a program that does user interaction
with the libedit library, then I suppose so.  But I don't expect this
to cause many problems in practice, since
 - Programs compiled with ghc don't need libedit to run unless they
explicitly depend on the editline package, and
 - There's nothing stopping you from writing and distributing programs
that depend on readline instead; just install the readline package
from Hackage.

It sounds like emacs isn't understanding the libedit output then.
Can any emacs experts provide any clues?

This is a bug in GHC 6.8.3, so isn't something we can fix (unless it
also happens with 6.10). Unfortunately it means you can't build 6.10,
but you will be able to install a binary distribution or OS X installer.

I'm confused. If the bootstrapping GHC uses a gmp from a non-standard
directory, then that directory should be listed in the "library-dirs"
field of the rts package. You shouldn't need to tell GHC where it is
whenever you run GHC.

Running "strings" on the bootstrap compiler's lib/ghc-6.8.3/libHSrts*
shows some references to the gmp include directory, but none to the
library directory.  I can try rebuilding 6.8.3, keeping the build
directory for inspection afterwards to see what's happening there.

Running
ghc-pkg describe rts
will show you library-dirs, amongst other things.

If that's the problem then you should be able to edit
/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.2/package.conf or similar, and add the directory to the
libraryDirs of the rts package entry.

Ah, ok.  Well, the gmp library directory is indeed listed there.  But
what exactly is ghc supposed to do with it?  From the behavior I'm
seeing, it looks like it passes -L to the linker, but not
-Xlinker -R.  pwd gets compiled and linked just fine; it only
complains when it runs.  The *dynamic* linker can't find libgmp.so,
since it isn't in a systemwide library directory, and pwd wasn't
linked with -Xlinker -R.

Not quite the beta snapshot, but from HEAD about the same time you
tagged and branched, I got the following positive results on
OpenBSD/i386:

1) Build it up to stage2 and make install from ghc-6.6: ok
2) The same again with the result of 1): ok
3) Full build including all extralibs with the result of 2): ok

I'll restart the whole process with what's in the ghc-6.10 branch
now (hopefully that's ok for you, since some fixes have been already
committed to the branch), and I'll also try to run the testsuite
after step 3).

BTW: I had some problems running the testsuite some weeks ago,
because some autoconf'd stuff was missing. When building from the
repository (*not* from the source tarballs), are there any additional
steps beyond

sh boot
./configure --prefix=...
gmake install

required?

Ciao,
Kili

ps: I've also an amd64 (aka x86_64) at work and will run the tests
on it next week. Wether I'll be able to fix the ghci problem in
time: no idea.

Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 6.10.1 beta

2008-09-27 Thread Juan Carlos Arevalo Baeza

  Two regressions with Template Haskell on Windows:

---
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module MkData where

import Language.Haskell.TH
import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax


op a b = a + b

decl = [d| func = 0 `op` 3 |]
---

  This gives a very weird error:

C:\Users\JCAB\Haskell\THTest>ghc --make main.hs
[1 of 2] Compiling MkData   ( MkData.hs, MkData.o )
attempting to use module `main:MkData' (.\MkData.hs) which is not loaded

  It is related to using inline named function operators `op` in 
declaration quotations in the same module. If the function is defined in 
another module, like `const` then everything works as expected.


  The other:

---
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module MkData where

import Language.Haskell.TH
import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax


decl name = returnQ $ [ DataD [] (mkName name) [] [RecC (mkName name) 
[]] [] ]

---
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module Main where

import MkData

$(decl "KK")

main = undefined
---

  Also gives a spooky error message:

You can download snapshots from here:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/

Right now we have the source bundles:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.10.0.20080921-src.tar.bz2
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.10.0.20080921-src-extralibs.tar.bz2

Only the first of these is necessary. The "extralibs" package contains
various extra packages that we normally supply with GHC - unpack the
extralibs tarball on top of the source tree to add them, and they will
be included in the build automatically.

There is also currently an installer for i386/Windows, and a binary
distribution for x86_64/Linux. More may appear later.

There are a couple of known problems with the x86_64/Linux bindist:
* It uses libedit.so.0 whereas some distributions (e.g. Debian) only
  provide libedit.so.2.
* It installs utilities like unlit in the wrong place, so compiling
  literate code won't work.
If you install from source then you won't hit either of those problems.

Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them
before the release!

We hope to have release candidates followed by a release in around 3
weeks time, but of course that may slip if problems are uncovered.

The -B is used from a ghc shell script to identify where the rest of the GHC 
installation resides. An example with a GHC 6.8.2 installed in 
$HOME/tn/install/ghc-6.8.2:

There is likely some designation for this option that I cannot recall. If it 
is documented anywhere, I haven't noticed.

Thank you all. Everything is great now. It was because (Just ghcPath) was
not passed into runGhc, and lack of ghc-path.
peace and happiness,

I'm not sure if running "gmake install" without first running "gmake"
works. Also, note that if you are building the extralibs then you need
to run "sh boot" after getting them.

I was sloppy in my mail. Actually I'm even building stage1 and stage2
explicitely before installing. From my script:

nice time gmake stage1
nice time gmake stage2
nice time gmake install

And my problem with the testsuite was a PEBKAC (of course): on
OpenBSD, python is installed as python-2.3, python-2.4, python-2.5
(you can have several versions installed in parallel), which isn't
found by configure, which in turn lets the testsuite bail out.
Setting PythonCmd during configure fixed it.

I've yet to evaluate the results of the testsuite. I'll post it in
a few hours.

Ciao,
Kili

Summary (skipping all the details):

OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Sun Sep 28 17:57:33 CEST 2008
2233 total tests, which gave rise to
   12011 test cases, of which
   0 caused framework failures
2244 were skipped

9324 expected passes
 140 expected failures
  20 unexpected passes
 283 unexpected failures

This looks more scary than it is; many unexpected failures are
caused by a change in Rational formatin ("17%42" vs. "17 % 42"),
some others are probably caused by OpenBSD specific stuff (e.g.,
warnings about the use of unsafe functions like strcpy(3), different
output behaviour on signals like SIGSEGV, and, well the unicode
(causing unexpected passes) and some threading differences are most
probably also OS-dependent candidates). Some problems are not
strictly OpenBSD specific, but just triggered due to the more
restrictive default limits (number of open file descriptors, datasize,
etc.). Finally, some tests just did time out (this isn't the fastest
machine in the universe).

A full test log is available at
http://openbsd.dead-parrot.de/ghctests/ghc-6.10-openbsd-i386.log

And a shorter log (using a really horrible awk script for stripping down
the full log):
http://openbsd.dead-parrot.de/ghctests/ghc-6.10-openbsd-i386.shortlog

Fallout from the following tests looks a little bit suspicious:

num009
num012
galois_raytrace (well, I didn't read the whol diff ;-))
driver019 (I think a fix for this has been pushed during the last 24 hours)
ffi009
tough
all the hpc stuff
copyFile001 (but there was a push for it recently, IIRC)

Same for openbsd-amd64, built from sources pulled from the darcs
repository at 15/Oct/2008:13:00:00 +0200:

http://openbsd.dead-parrot.de/ghctests/ghc-6.10-openbsd-amd64.log

OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Wed Oct 15 21:07:08 CEST 2008
2252 total tests, which gave rise to
   12108 test cases, of which
   0 caused framework failures
2301 were skipped

8846 expected passes
 128 expected failures
   0 unexpected passes
 833 unexpected failures


And for ghc-head (pulled an hour later):

http://openbsd.dead-parrot.de/ghctests/ghc-head-openbsd-amd64.log

OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Thu Oct 16 12:36:23 CEST 2008
2252 total tests, which gave rise to
   12108 test cases, of which
   0 caused framework failures
2294 were skipped

8917 expected passes
 128 expected failures
   0 unexpected passes
 769 unexpected failures


Most failures are caused by ghci which is still broken for
openbsd-amd64. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to look at
the other failures now.
