That's odd. What's your OS version (Tiger or Leopard) and platform (Intel/ppc)?

comment:4 Changed 15 years ago by guy.kogus@…

I'm having the same problem. Also Leopard (10.5.7) Intel.

comment:5 Changed 15 years ago by yllan@…

I got some clues about this situation.

I have another 10.5.7 ppc machine has the following "outdated" ports, which install ghc successfully. After I upgrade all the outdated port, I got "syntax error: unexpected end of file." There must be something incompatible with the following ports.

Can you repost your installed ports using "port installed" ? port list is, as usual, quite useless

comment:7 Changed 15 years ago by tobypeterson

I suspect gsed +with_default_names, but 'port list' is useless... will see when 'port installed' output is posted

comment:10 Changed 15 years ago by kazu-yamamoto (Kazu Yamamoto)

I had the same problem but I could solved it. "autoreconf" installed by MacPorts is the cause. So, you can install GHC with "sudo port uninstall autoconf", (rehash if necessary) and "auto port install ghc".

comment:11 Changed 15 years ago by kouji.ueno@…

Hi, all. 

# port deactivate autoconf@2.64_0
# port activate autoconf@2.63_0
# rm -fr /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_ghc
# port install ghc

seems working.

comment:12 Changed 15 years ago by yllan@…

Confirmed.

comment:13 Changed 15 years ago by yaseppochi (Stephen J. Turnbull)

Thanks for the hint! I haven't finished the build yet, but I'm just so happy I had to report success in getting past line 11082. :-)

Used the recipe reported by Ueno-san, basically: 

$ sudo port deactivate autoconf
$ sudo port activate autoconf @2.63_0
$ sudo port clean ghc; sudo port upgrade -u ghc

MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Mac OS X Version 10.5.7.

comment:14 Changed 15 years ago by gwright@…

This is quite obscure for the typical user. I may need to force the use of the system autoreconf (/usr/bin/autoreconf) as a workaround.

comment:15 Changed 15 years ago by yaseppochi (Stephen J. Turnbull)

Mixing upstream versions with Apple's versions sounds like asking for trouble to me.

This is either a bug in ghc's configure script or in auto(re)conf. Is there anything that actually *depends* on a bleeding-edge autoconf? I've always found upgrading autoconf to be death by papercuts. Why not just delay introduction of autoconf 2.64 until somebody actually wants it, and/or upstream scripts have been fixed to conform to autoconf's fussiness-du-jour?

BTW, my build mentioned above completed successfully. Thanks to all, maintainers and users!

Same issue here on Tiger PPC. Downgrading autoconf from 2.64_0 to 2.63_0 worked around it.

There is an ​upstream bug report for this problem, with patches (in dpatch format, whatever that is).

There is now an autoconf263 port. It seems it should be added to the build dependencies.

Replying to macsforever2000@…:

That would be fine. Does anybody know how to inform ghc to use autoconf263 instead of autoconf?

comment:21 Changed 15 years ago by gwright@…

Resolution: → fixed
Status: assigned → closed

This is fixed in r56583. Builds cleanly with 2.63 and 2.64.

The problem was old cruft in the ghc autoconf macros. Upstream HEAD builds for 2.63 and 2.64, so when 6.12 comes out we should still be OK.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
