GHC 8.0.1-rc3 source tarball availability

[George Colpitts]

Thanks Ben, none of this is obvious to me  :) I just read the doc which
doesn't mention distclean or rebuild
​ which I have never had to do on earlier source distributions​
​
. I did a make distclean, then a configure, then a make -j5 and got the
same error. by rebuild do you mean do it again starting from scratch?

I did google the error, i.e. 'Haskell "_stg_sel_17_upd_info" ' and found
that a few people have encountered this this month. Most importantly it led
me to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11155#comment:10 :

Ran into this trying to build HEAD today on Mac OS X 10.11.3. But a
slightly different message:

Warning: -rtsopts and -with-rtsopts have no effect with -no-hs-main.
    Call hs_init_ghc() from your main() function to set these options.
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_stg_sel_17_upd_info", referenced from:

      _s1xQA_info in UI.dyn_o
      _s1xZU_info in UI.dyn_o
      _s1y0r_info in UI.dyn_o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
`gcc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1)
make[1]: *** [ghc/stage2/build/tmp/ghc-stage2] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

​​Should I reopen 11155 or open a new ticket?

Thanks
George
