Build on FreeBSD fails with ncurses
Building fails on FreeBSD 8.2-stable with current Ports with the error as documented in the attachment.
To fix this, I went to libraries/terminfo and executed there:
- /configure --with-curses-includes=/usr/include --with-curses-libraries=/usr/lib
Then I deleted manually all .o, .a, .so files in this directory (make clean there does a global clean, which is a bug as well), ran make there and went back to the toplevel build directoy, where I entered the following command manually:
"inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" -o ghc/stage2/build/tmp/ghc-stage2 -H32m -O -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib -hide-all-packages -i -ighc/. -ighc/stage2/build -ighc/stage2/build/autogen -Ighc/stage2/build -Ighc/stage2/build/autogen -optP-DGHCI -optP-include -optPghc/stage2/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h -package array-0.4.0.0 -package base-4.5.0.0 -package bytestring-0.9.2.1 -package directory-1.1.0.2 -package filepath-1.3.0.0 -package ghc-7.4.1 -package haskeline-0.6.4.0 -package mtl-1.1.1.1 -package process-1.1.0.1 -package unix-2.5.1.0 -fno-warn-name-shadowing -Wall -XHaskell98 -XForeignFunctionInterface -XUnboxedTuples -XFlexibleInstances -XMagicHash -XNondecreasingIndentation -XCPP -XPatternGuards -O2 -threaded -no-user-package-conf -rtsopts -odir ghc/stage2/build -hidir ghc/stage2/build -stubdir ghc/stage2/build -hisuf hi -osuf o -hcsuf hc ghc/stage2/build/Main.o ghc/stage2/build/InteractiveUI.o ghc/stage2/build/GhciMonad.o ghc/stage2/build/GhciTags.o ghc/stage2/build/hschooks.o
(note the changed -L and -I parameters)
Then I ran make again and building continues successfully.
To fix someone should add some ncurses tweaks to the main configure script.
