#42092 closed defect (wontfix)

ghc-bootstrap does not build

Reported by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt) Owned by: neverpanic (Clemens Lang)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: Cc: web@…
Port: ghc-bootstrap

Description

On Leopard, ghc-bootstrap fails: 

checking for path to top of build tree... dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
configure: error: cannot determine current directory

"unknown load command" usually means these binaries were built for a newer version of OS X.

If a ghc-bootstrap that will work on Leopard is not available, then the port should fail early and tell the user that, in a pre-fetch block, before the user has wasted time downloading a 131MB distfile.

I'm assuming this is no longer a problem with the update to 8.6 in ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/4794 merged. If it is, please re-open and assign to the new maintainer, I'm dropping maintainership in ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/5049.
