Hi Ian, Roman,
this may be a problem with my cross-compiler, as the problem persists
in my setup:
$ "inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" configure
--with-ghc="/home/ggreif/ghc-head/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1"
--with-ghc-pkg="/home/ggreif/ghc-head/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg"
--enable-library-for-ghci --configure-option=CFLAGS=" "
--configure-option=LDFLAGS=" " --configure-option=CPPFLAGS=" "
--with-gcc="false" --configure-option=--with-cc="false"
--with-ar="false" --with-ranlib="true" -- dist-install
libraries/primitive
Configuring primitive-0.4.0.1...
ghc-cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing (or bad) header file: primitive-memops.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
$ cat /home/ggreif/ghc-head/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1
#!/bin/sh
executablename="/home/ggreif/ghc-head/inplace/lib/ghc-stage1"
datadir="/home/ggreif/ghc-head/inplace/lib"
bindir="/home/ggreif/ghc-head/inplace/bin"
topdir="/home/ggreif/ghc-head/inplace/lib"
pgmgcc="/home/ggreif/devkit/ppc/85xx/bin/ppc_85xx-gcc"
exec "$executablename" -B"$topdir" ${1+"$@"}
Is it possible that ghc-cabal somehow uses a C compiler (host/target
gcc) to discover dependencies?
Cheers,
Gabor
