https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D273091 Bug ID: 273091 Summary: lang/ghc 9.4.6 fails to build without the addition of iconv configure flags Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: haskell@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kreinholz@gmail.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(haskell@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: haskell@FreeBSD.org OS: FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE stable/13-bc50720b32 GENERIC amd64 What: attempted to build lang/ghc-9.4.6 from Ports with default `make confi= g` options Expected result: successful build of ghc Actual result: build fails at the stage1 bootstrap phase with the following error message: # cabal-configure (for _build/stage1/libraries/base/setup-config) configure: error: iconv is required on non-Windows platforms ExitFailure 1 Build failed. *** Error code 1 Stop. make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/lang/ghc *** Error code 1 /usr/ports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-9.4.6/_build/stage1/libraries/base/build/confi= g.log reveals: configure:32566: checking for library containing iconv configure:32597: /usr/local/bin/gcc -o conftest -iquote /usr/ports/lang/ghc/work /ghc-9.4.6/libraries/base -fuse-ld=3Dgold conftest.c -lrt >&5 /tmp//cccRZgTs.o:conftest.c:function main: error: undefined reference to 'libico nv_open' /tmp//cccRZgTs.o:conftest.c:function main: error: undefined reference to 'libico nv' /tmp//cccRZgTs.o:conftest.c:function main: error: undefined reference to 'libico nv_close' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status configure:32597: $? =3D 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ And: configure:32597: /usr/local/bin/gcc -o conftest -iquote /usr/ports/lang/ghc/work /ghc-9.4.6/libraries/base -fuse-ld=3Dgold conftest.c -liconv -lrt >&5 /usr/local/bin/ld.gold: error: cannot find -liconv /tmp//ccp8G3Is.o:conftest.c:function main: error: undefined reference to 'libico nv_open' /tmp//ccp8G3Is.o:conftest.c:function main: error: undefined reference to 'libico nv' /tmp//ccp8G3Is.o:conftest.c:function main: error: undefined reference to 'libico nv_close' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status On my system, iconv headers and libs are installed to the standard location, /usr/local. However, for some reason ghc's configure script fails to look f= or them there. This may be similar to a problem noted by Mac OS X users attemp= ting to build ghc when two different versions of iconv exist on their systems, installed in different locations. The fix/workaround is easy: edit the Makefile and add appropriate iconv-rel= ated configure flags: GNU_CONFIGURE=3D yes CONFIGURE_ARGS+=3D --docdir=3D${DOCSDIR} --with-iconv-libraries=3D${LOCALBASE}/lib --with-iconv-includes=3D${LOCALBASE}/include CONFIGURE_ENV=3D ALEX=3D/usr/bin/true HAPPY=3D/usr/bin/true INSTALL_TARGET=3D install-strip After this, ghc has no problem finding iconv and the build progresses past = this error. I thought I'd share this information in case anyone else is having difficul= ty building ghc-9.4.6 or to suggest a tweak to the Makefile. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
