Error building network package with cabal in windows 7 using n jobs

    • Open Issue created by Javier Neira @jneira
    • os: windows 7
    • console mingw64 installed with ghcup (but the same error is throwed using dos or powershell instead bash)
    • cabal, msys2, ghc installed with ghcup
    • motivation: build network to reproduce https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7494

    It seems the shims exes still has some problem??

    EDIT: cabal build -j1 works so some issue with concurrent access to shims is involved

    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

      That was fixed long ago, so you probably have old shim exes.

      I reinstalled ghcup recently

      # sha256sum.exe /d/ghcup/bin/ghc.exe

      I cant reproduce in windows 10

      Interesting... it could either be that the shimgen behaves slightly different on windows 7 (would be odd) or that win7 generally has more concurrency issues with cabal.

      You could try a chocolatey installation and see if you hit the same problem.

        Maybe it is not ghcup related but cabal builds with -j1 are failing for me with

        D:\ghcup\ghc\8.8.4\lib\../mingw/bin/gcc.exe: builderMainLoop: permission denied
(Permission denied)

        :worried:

        Changing the ghc used to point D:\ghcup\ghc\8.8.4\bin\ghc does not fix it Using other ghc versions (8.10.5, 8.6.5) does not fix it either

        The last call of the build is

        "D:\ghcup\bin\ghc.exe" "-hide-all-packages" "-c" "C:\TEMP\ghc6552.c" "-o" "C:\TEMP\ghc6553.o" "-hide-all-packages"

        If i execute it exactly in the shell, it works :thinking:

        I've tried a fresh cabal+ghc installation:

        • downloading cabal-3.4.0.0 and ghc-8.8.4 from the official haskell.org download page
        • cleaning out the CABAL_DIR env var
        • letting cabal create a new config dir and its contents in the default location %APPDATA%\cabal
        • but reusing the existing cabal store in D:\csd

        and the error is not reproduced
