[nhc-bugs] GNU/Linux i686: PreludeList.init: empty list

[Nikita Karetnikov]

I’d like to build nhc98 1.22 [1] on i686 without a Haskell compiler.
‘make’ fails with the following (also, see [2]):

sh /home/tester/nhc98/nhc98-1.22/targets/ix86-Linux/hmake3.config
PreludeList.init: empty list
PreludeList.init: empty list
PreludeList.init: empty list
make[1]: *** [config] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tester/nhc98/nhc98-1.22/src/hmake'
make: *** [targets/ix86-Linux/hmake-gcc] Error 2

Any ideas?

I’m also attaching the output of ‘./configure’.  Should I provide more
information?

Configuring for nhc98... [ v1.22 (2010-07-09) ]
--------
Looking for already-installed Haskell compilers:
  Found C compiler:    /usr/bin/gcc
  C compiler version:  gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3
  Looking for hbc...   (not found)
  Note: LMLDIR/HBCDIR variables must be set to enable detection of hbc.
  Looking for ghc...   (not found)
  Looking for nhc98... (not found)
I am guessing that you want to use gcc to build hmake.
  Now I'm creating targets/ix86-Linux/hmake3.config for your installation.
Done.
--------
                   Configuration report for nhc98.
    (You can re-run configure to change settings before proceeding.)
You wish (eventually) to install the following components in these locations:
    (Installation directories are not created/checked at this stage.)
Final install root:   /usr/local
nhc98 binaries/libs:  /usr/local/lib/nhc98/ix86-Linux
hmake binaries:       /usr/local/lib/hmake/ix86-Linux
Interfaces/includes:  /usr/local/include/nhc98
Scripts:              /usr/local/bin
Man pages:            /usr/local/man/man1
Html documents:       (none)

Now we check/create your build directories:
Config directory:      targets/ix86-Linux
Build directory root:
    /home/tester/nhc98/nhc98-1.22/targets (exists)
Object files build in:
    /home/tester/nhc98/nhc98-1.22/targets/ix86-Linux (exists)
Executables and libs:
    /home/tester/nhc98/nhc98-1.22/lib/ix86-Linux (created)

Toolchain:
host compiler:                              gcc
host strip:                                 strip
cabal-parse:                                /home/tester/nhc98/nhc98-1.22/script/cabal-parse

I am guessing you will build nhc98 with:    gcc
backend compiler option:                    -m32
backend linker option:                      -m32
nhc98comp uses RTS delimiters?              yes
This machine's endian-ness is:              -DLOW_BYTE_FIRST (detected) 
Executables need .exe suffix?               no  (detected)
Testing for the curses library:             -ltermcap -lcurses (detected) 
Testing for the readline library:           no  (detected)
Reading /usr/include/errno.h:               updated DErrNo.hs
Testing for FunnelWeb:                      no  (detected)
Default heap for compiled programs is: 100000 words (cached)
