FW: Building GHC on Mac stops

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Austin

This looks like a make-system bug, based on a cursory read.  Worth a ticket?  Do you know enough about the build system to fix it?  It's clearly annoying!

Simon Marlow and/or Ian Lynagh may well be able to help

Hi Nicolas,

My guess is here: libraries/integer-gmp/configure generates "gmp.h".
Building mkGmpDerivedConstants starts in parallel.  Since "configure"
takes time, "mkGmpDerivedConstants" is build before "gmp.h" is
created.

How can we ensure that these two jobs are carried out sequentially?
