Can't build a haste library about haste-compiler HOT 7 CLOSED

What version of GHC and cabal are you running? I can't reproduce the issue on my side. (GHC 7.6.3 / cabal 1.16.0)

from haste-compiler.

I am using GHC 7.6.3. and cabal 1.16.0.2

How should these .hi files be produced? Which program produces them?

from haste-compiler.

The .his are produced by haste-inst configure/build, which mysteriously fail because it seems that cabal doesn't find haste-pkg, and it all goes downhill from there. This is very weird, as the first line (haste-pkg update libraries/rts.pkg) seems to work just fine.

It looks like cabal for some reason doesn't see haste-pkg on your $PATH. I have no idea why that would be though (Mac-specific quirk, perhaps?), since the shell script apparently sees it.

I fixed haste-inst to explicitly go looking for haste-pkg in ~/.cabal/bin unless it's found on the path in commit d466601 - does this fix your problem?

from haste-compiler.

Thanks! Now, everything works much better, however, I have another errors:

cbits/float.c:72:0:
error: nested functions are disabled, use -fnested-functions to re-enable

cbits/float.c:72:0:
error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘attribute’ before ‘*’ token

cbits/float.c:72:0: error: expected expression before ‘const’

cbits/float.c:82:0:
error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

cbits/float.c:82:0: error: for each function it appears in.)
cbits/float.c: In function ‘integer_cbits_encodeFloat’:

error: nested functions are disabled, use -fnested-functions to re-enable

cbits/float.c:135:0:
error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘attribute’ before ‘*’ token

Should I install gmp for this?

from haste-compiler.

The cbits stuff is completely unnecessary and only left in there because I haven't really bothered to do a proper cleanup, but since they're apparently causing trouble on some platforms I got rid of them in commit ab8ddab - does it work now?

from haste-compiler.

Now it worked without errors. Thank you very much!

from haste-compiler.

No problem, it's great to get platform specific issues like this reported since I don't have a Mac myself to test on!
