Re: build system question build-prog and bindisttest

[Tamar Christina]

Hi Thomas, 


Thanks for the help! 


I have removed the call to bindist and I was indeed missing a similar line in the main GHC.mk


Unfortunately I still get the same error:


  HC [stage 2] driver/ghc-split/dist/build/tmp/ghc-split.exe
/bin/sh: inplace/bin/ghc-stage2.exe: No such file or directory
driver/ghc-split/ghc.mk:21: recipe for target 'driver/ghc-split/dist/build/tmp/ghc-split.exe' failed
make[1]: *** [driver/ghc-split/dist/build/tmp/ghc-split.exe] Error 127


Though not quite sure why it’s looking in inplace/bin..  


I was indeed following that page, but haven't been able to consult the wiki today as Trac has been throwing an error all day. 

The line I added was:


driver/ghc-split/dist/package-data.mk: compiler/stage2/package-data.mk





Any ideas?


Regards,

Tamar

In my ghc.mk I have declared:





$(eval $(call build-prog,driver/ghc-split,dist,0))
$(eval $(call bindist,driver/ghc-split,ghc.mk))




That second line isn't needed. I think you are trying to follow https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Modifying#Addingaprogram, but that information is outdated. Take a look at some ghc.mk files in the utils directory, for example `utils/hpc/ghc.mk`.







Now it's perfectly fine to build this at stage 1 or 2




Use stage1 to build it, or stage2 if you need access to the ghc api.







, but when I change it to either of those building fails telling me that
ghc-stage1 or ghc-stage2 cannot be found...




You are probably missing an entry like the following in the toplevel ghc.mk:





utils/hpc/dist-install/package-data.mk: compiler/stage2/package-data.mk
