documentation error and omission
- broken link in the building guide
in: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-build-checks.html
points to: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/set/bug-reporting.html
This is what I see:
Not Found
The requested URL /ghc/docs/latest/set/bug-reporting.html was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server at www.haskell.org Port 80- automake not mentioned in "building and developing GHC".
I think it deserves a mention next to autoconf, here:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-pre-supposed.html
I found that running autoreconf fails without it. Here's the output I got before installing automake:
micky@cellar:/build/ghc$ autoreconf
