Can't configure GHC
Summary
Unable to configure GHC.
Steps to reproduce
Download a mac os version of ghc, unzip it, and run ./configure
.
See the following:
checking for path to top of build tree... /Users/marnold/Downloads/ghc-7.8.1
Build platform inferred as: x86_64-apple-darwin
Host platform inferred as: x86_64-apple-darwin
Target platform inferred as: x86_64-apple-darwin
GHC build : x86_64-apple-darwin
GHC host : x86_64-apple-darwin
GHC target : x86_64-apple-darwin
checking for perl... /usr/local/bin/perl
checking for a BSD-compatible install...
It hangs here seemingly forever (at least several hours).
Expected behavior
Correctly configure GHC.
Environment
- GHC version used: Tried with several, all failed in the same way
- Operating System: MacOS 10.14.4
