#19747: ghc 6.10.3_1: can't locate file for: -lgmp on Tiger ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dmathers@… | Owner: gwright@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: ghc | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by gwright@…): OK, I have reports that ghc 6.10.3 revision 4 builds successfully on both Tiger/ppc and Tiger/intel. Revision 4 backs out one of the changes in r51205, putting back the patch originally added to work around this problem. There were changes introduced upstream to 6.10.3 which were supposed to make this patch unnecessary, but they were apparently not tested with different bootstrap compilers to see if they actually worked. If people still have trouble, they should build with the new variant cabal_configure_debug as so: {{{ $ sudo port ghc clean $ sudo port -dv ghc build +cabal_configure_debug 2>&1 | tee build.log }}} and send the output. The new variant patches the Makefiles to provide useful output from cabal's configuration phase, which is otherwise completely silent. Unless I get further reports on this problem I will close this in the next few days. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19747#comment:17> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
