Windows: GHC >= 9.0 boot libraries `*.conf` files: problem with the `haddock-html` paths
Summary
On my Windows system, ghc-pkg dump
yields for base
(extract only) (and similarly for other GHC boot libraries):
name: base
version: 4.16.4.0
...
haddock-interfaces: ${pkgroot}/../../docs/html/libraries/base\base.haddock
haddock-html: ${pkgroot}/../../docs/html/libraries/base
pkgroot: "C:\\Users\\mikep\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\stack\\x86_64-windows\\ghc-9.2.7\\lib"
That reflects the content of the C:\Users\mikep\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-9.2.7\lib\package.conf.d\base-4.16.4.0.conf
file.
ghc-pkg dump --expand-pkgroot
yields, correspondingly (extract only):
name: base
version: 4.16.4.0
...
haddock-interfaces:
C:\Users\mikep\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-9.2.7\lib/../../docs/html/libraries/base\base.haddock
haddock-html:
C:\Users\mikep\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-9.2.7\lib/../../docs/html/libraries/base
The issue is that there are no such directories. Directory /docs/html/libraries
is actually located at: C:\Users\mikep\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-9.2.7\
If ${pkgroot}
is to be understood as the directory in which the directory package.conf.d
is to be found, then it looks to me that the *.conf
files that ship with GHC are wrong as regards haddock-html
. An extra /..
has been added to the start of haddock-html
, in error.
Steps to reproduce
As above.
Expected behavior
That ghc-pkg dump
and, in particular, ghc-pkg dump --expand-pkgroot
return the actual path to the haddock-html
for GHC's boot libraries.
Environment
- GHC version used: GHC 9.2.7
Optional:
- Operating System: Windows
- System Architecture: x86_64
