ghc build fails -- gmake: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

Can't find the Makefile for some reason. Here is the shell output:

$ uname -sr

$ which gmake

$ gmake --version

$ sudo port -d selfupdate

$ port info ghc
ghc 6.6, Revision 2, lang/ghc (Variants: darwin_6, darwin_7_powerpc, darwin_8_powerpc, darwin_8_i386, noopengl)

$ sudo port install ghc

#
#               This is the top-level Makefile for GHC
#
# Targets:
#
#       bootsrap (DEFAULT)
#               Builds GHC, then builds the libraries,
#               then uses this GHC ("stage 1") to build itself
#               ("stage 2").

The complete path to the Makefile is

/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-6.6/Makefile

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Could you try the latest revision of the ghc portfile and see if it resolves your problem? There have been two fixes since your report.

Please make sure you clean everything before restarting a failed build, i.e., run

sudo port clean ghc

Let me know if it fixed the problem.

Best Wishes, Greg
