hmake @3.14_3 (devel) Failed to build hmake

[abigail.lauren@…]

'hmake' has failed to build, and other closed tickets on this topic haven't given me any solutions. I've attached a copy of the hmake/main.log. Here's what the command line spits out (as a root user):

I'm using MacPorts 2.3.3, my ports are up-to-date, and I've tried port clean hmake and then installing again. I need hmake to build scientific software for work. Help please? Thank you!

It looks like the website didn't make the change they did in 2011 to ​https://www.haskell.org/ - I couldn't find any new websites and other distros have discontinued support. I would suggest removing this port.

I've just run into the same problem here while trying to build hat. AFAIKT, hat is the only remaining dependent of hmake and it also depends on glib1 which is way out of date and on my list of ports to remove.

At this point, since removal of these two haskell related ports appears not to be of any consequence to the rest of the haskell ports, does any one have any objections to my removing both of them?

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

No, go ahead.
