[Haskell-cafe] Dependencies missing when building ghc.

[Magicloud Magiclouds]

Hi,

  I am with my new Ubuntu Trusty box. I have installed ghc by apt-get. Then
I wanted to build ghc from git to upgrade to 7.8.3.

  I did following commands. I tried 'make clean', or reget the source. No
luck yet.

$ git clone --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git
$ ./sync-all -r git://git.haskell.org remote set-url origin
$ git checkout ghc-7.8.3-release
$ ./sync-all get
$ rm -r libraries/time # as prompted by sync-all
$ ./sync-all get
$ ./boot
$ ./configure
$ make
===--- building phase 0
make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=0 phase_0_builds
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `phase_0_builds'.
===--- building phase 1
make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=1 phase_1_builds

Configuring haskell98-2.0.0.4...
ghc-cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing:
base ==4.8.*
make[1]: *** [libraries/haskell98/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
