ongy: Post error?
lpaste_ 2017-03-02 19:46:42
ongy pasted "cabal new-build doing nothing" at http://lpaste.net/4545204614789595136
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:47:04
it hung?
ongy 2017-03-02 19:47:10
not at all
ongy 2017-03-02 19:47:23
just ended itself, but no shell error
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:47:29
this is 1.24?
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:47:41
If you pass -j0 I bet you'll get an error
ongy 2017-03-02 19:47:43
1.24.0.0
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:47:46
this is a dumb bug and we fixed it in HEAD
ongy 2017-03-02 19:48:08
I get an error I don't really understand
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:48:14
paste it?
ongy 2017-03-02 19:48:49
error, called at libraries/Cabal/Cabal/Distribution/ReadE.hs:44:24 in Cabal-1.24.0.0:Distribution.ReadE
ongy 2017-03-02 19:49:01
oh when it's in one line I see it's just 'error' called -.-
ongy 2017-03-02 19:49:05
still, not that helpful for a user
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:50:04
that's unusuuuual
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:51:22
uhh, can you post -v3 logs
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:51:27
with -j0
lpaste_ 2017-03-02 19:53:12
ongy pasted "cabal new-build -j0 -v3 >/tmp/log 2>&1" at http://lpaste.net/353167
ongy 2017-03-02 19:53:29
this looks useful. and I just checked, the redirections don't void anything
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:54:12
ok......
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:54:26
well, I think the easiest thing to try next is to grab a cabal-install HEAD and see if the problem arises there
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:54:41
you want to use HEAD anyway. Ubuntu? You can get one off of hvr's PPA
ongy 2017-03-02 19:54:55
arch
ongy 2017-03-02 19:55:07
but we probably have a cabal-install-git in aur, let me check
ongy 2017-03-02 19:55:15
also I'm not sure if I want to run HEAD :)
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:55:20
it's not too hard to build yourself either
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:55:31
I know HEAD is bootstrapping off of 1.24 new-build :)
ongy 2017-03-02 19:55:51
we don't -.- anything to worry about when building from HEAD? Also where is that
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:56:27
get it off of https://github.com/haskell/cabal
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:56:34
just run cabal new-build cabal
ezyang 2017-03-02 19:56:49
I don't believe there are any known problems
ongy 2017-03-02 19:58:38
oh, I ran the bootstrap.sh in cabal-install inside there
ongy 2017-03-02 19:58:44
I should wait for answers when I ask something...
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:00:10
oh bootstrap.sh is ok too
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:00:19
we test that too :)
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:00:37
but it's mostly intended for when you don't have any working cabal at all
ongy 2017-03-02 20:01:11
ohh, well I did it in an tmpfs, so it shouldn't litter
ongy 2017-03-02 20:04:20
oh we are having fun today
lpaste_ 2017-03-02 20:04:51
ongy pasted "./bootstrap.sh" at http://lpaste.net/8695420333114523648
ongy 2017-03-02 20:05:04
should I just try the new-build?
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:05:18
bootstrap is supposed to work. Let's see
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:05:48
TBC, you've got both Cabal and cabal-install dirs in tmpfs?
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:06:27
but yes, maybe try new-build
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:07:03
let me see if I can repro
ongy 2017-03-02 20:07:31
ah maybe I ran it in the wrong directory? I cd'ed into cabal-install inside the repo
ongy 2017-03-02 20:08:16
I ran my git clone inside /tmp/ so /tmp/cabal is the root of the repo
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:08:23
no that's fine
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:08:55
is your new-build humming? Do you want to help debug bootstrap?
ongy 2017-03-02 20:09:51
new-build is running, but the bootstrap ran for a good while aswell
ongy 2017-03-02 20:10:51
sure I can help debug bootstrap
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:12:32
first, did you pass any arguments to bootstrap.sh?
ongy 2017-03-02 20:12:39
no
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:12:59
ok, is there a ./Setup exec in cabal-install dir?
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:13:18
if so, tell me what ./Setup --version says
ongy 2017-03-02 20:14:49
I'll run this on a different machine, to not interrupt the new-build going on
ongy 2017-03-02 20:15:00
this one has a bit more power aswell, so it shouldn't take too long
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:15:45
oh, I was assuming you had kept the intermediate products around
ongy 2017-03-02 20:16:03
I did the new-build in the same git checkout, not sure if that keeps things around
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:16:07
it will
ongy 2017-03-02 20:16:43
./Setup --version: Cabal library version 1.24.0.0
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:17:28
:O
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:17:33
that's not supposed to happen haha
ongy 2017-03-02 20:17:55
git log --oneline | head -n 1 :(

cef856fc9 Merge pull request #4363 from ezyang/pr/hs-libraries-indefinite
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:19:31
well
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:19:41
I see the bug, looking at bootstrap.sh
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:19:46
thanks, we'll try and fix this. new-build should still work
ongy 2017-03-02 20:20:28
still running, but I ran into oom on my laptop so it got interrupted
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:23:28
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4365
ongy 2017-03-02 20:23:32
so what does new-build do with the binary? install them into ~/.cabal/bin ?
ongy 2017-03-02 20:24:05
feel free to highlight me when you mention me on github, I'm ongy there aswell
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:25:13
ongy: No, it gets put in dist-newstyle
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:25:16
look for the "Linking" line
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:25:23
I symlinked something to that path
ongy 2017-03-02 20:26:37
this is in /tmp/ so I'd rather not :). Do I need to copy anything out but the cabal binary? hackage-security?
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:28:11
I think it's statically linked by default so the binary is good enough
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:28:31
ldd it to be sure :o)
ongy 2017-03-02 20:28:50
static against haskell libs, dynamic against external dependencies
ongy 2017-03-02 20:28:54
I really like that default
ongy 2017-03-02 20:29:47
now I'll see if I can get my first aur PKGBUILD done
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:30:24
haha, back to the original problem
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:30:54
but, actually, I kind of wonder if the problem that caused bootstrap to not work is also the same problem that caused your package not to build originally
ongy 2017-03-02 20:33:11
ah no, I want to have cabal-install-git or aur. I don't like to install things as user that I haven't written myself
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:33:20
:)
ongy 2017-03-02 20:34:25
how long until cabal new-run? Or does it exist on HEAD?
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:35:09
ongy: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/4304
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:35:26
it's not green on CI so we haven't merged yet
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:37:21
but you could give it a try if you were so inclined
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:37:24
testing = good :)
ongy 2017-03-02 20:37:52
that's not `cabal run` is it? looks more like it would be useful to run ghc-mod and such
ongy 2017-03-02 20:38:20
I'm not at home over the weekend, not sure how much time and internet I will have
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:39:34
I think cabal new-exec knows how to find executables you built
ezyang 2017-03-02 20:39:39
I haven't used it so I'm not sure
ongy 2017-03-02 20:39:53
dmwit should know :)
