I generally followed the instructions on<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/tweag/ghc/tree/linear-types#building-from-source" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/tweag/<wbr>ghc/tree/linear-types#<wbr>building-from-source</a> ,<br>
<br>
but when running<br>
<br>
git checkout tweag/linear-types ,<br>
<br>
I got the following error message:<br>
<br>
> fatal: Not a git repository: ${BASEDIR}/ghc/.git/modules/.<wbr>arc-linters/arcanist-external-<wbr>json-linter<br>
<br>
I guess this is because my local directory is not named “ghc”, but “ghc-<br>
linear”. In my opinion, the repository should not assume that a local<br>
copy of it resides in a directory of a certain name. Is this a GHC issue<br>
or an issue with your linear-types branch?<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Wolfgang<br>
