Cannot recompile XMonad

danvari · 2010-01-16 10:00:37

Since the last update i cannot recompile XMonad by pressing "Alt+Q" + i have a strange problem when i try to update the package:

i removed xmonad + xmonad-contrib, but i always get that error.

Any ideas?

Seems related to this (also recent):

i have the same error, and can't compile xmonad

it seems the new version of xmonad has been uploaded just now by Vesa Kaihlavirta (vegai) (thanks!)

i used to have the same error as OP but now i have:

any ideas about this?

goddesse · 2010-01-16 12:22:39

@tinmrn, it is the exact same issue. The new twist is that xmonad now depends on mtl (also just pushed to extra by vegai) so you should do pacman -Syu or install the newer mtl.

haskell-mtl has just been moved to [extra], though the xmonad PKGBUILD does not seem to have it in 'depends='. Could you try installing haskell-mtl manually and, if this solves it, mention this in the bug-report?

---

The problems are due to the recent upgrade to ghc-6.12. As mentioned, xmonad-0.9.1 has just been uploaded for i686, which should fix the problem for that architecture.

xmonad-darcs and x86_64 users need to build against ghc-6.12 manually for the moment. I have successfully built xmonad-darcs from AUR against ghc-6.12, and everything seems to be working OK. Since I found myself needing to perform this rebuild once again anyway, I've taken notes as I went.

* haskell-action-permutations (AUR.)
* haskell-stm (AUR.)
* haskell-utf8-string (ABS.)
* haskell-x11 (ABS. Though I don't think this actually needed to be rebuilt.)
* haskell-x11-xft (ABS.)
* haskell-hinotify (AUR. Updated PKGBUILD for hinotify-0.3.1; hinotify-0.2 did not build against ghc-6.12.)
* xmonad-darcs (AUR. 'haskell-mtl' added to dependencies; it was available in [testing] (when I started this post), now available in [extra].)
* xmonad-contrib-darcs (AUR. 'darcs' added to makedepends.)

I removed the "... ./gen_contents_index..." line from each function of the .install scripts. This seems to be unavailable (unnecessary?) in ghc-6.12.

thanks both for this tip, it worked for xmonad and i'll mention it in the bug report

i now have a similar error for xmonad-contrib, and i guess i have to manually take care of this dependency as well, only i can not identify which package it is referring to (xft-0.3-6...). do you know which package it is? i've already tried libxft and haskell-x11-xft

It does indeed refer to haskell-x11-xft. Looks like the x11-xft which xmonad-contrib was built against does not match that in the repos. Another candidate for the bug report, I guess.

The package for haskell-x11-xft didn't seem to actually get rebuilt under a system with ghc 6.12. Uninstall it. Recompile it from ABS yourself and do pacman -U --asdeps longpkgname and that will properly register it. When you do ghc-pkg list, it should be listed near the top as X11-xft-0.3 if it was registered properly.

egan · 2010-01-16 15:57:29

I certainly hope this gets fixed soon.

brisbin33 · 2010-01-16 18:28:53

i also just went through this. the following got darcs to build.

enable [community-testing] in abs.conf
sync you ABS tree
rebuild haskell-mtl, haskell-utf8-string, haskell-x11, and haskell-x11-xft via ABS in that order
build xmonad-darcs and xmonad-contrib-darcs from AUR

lot's of warnings, but everything installs and i can `ghci .xmonad/xmonad.hs` successfully now

if anyone's interested, i have an abs script here to speed up the process. abuild [package] will prompt about editing, building, installing but abuild -f [package] will just build and install.

HTH,
pat

edit: my script calls pacman-color, adjust lines 74 and 76 to use just pacman if you need to.

Yeah, there's going to be some pain involved with the GHC transition. I've stopped using anything from the repos other than GHC itself. This is working fine on my 64 bit machine because it's fast. My 32 bit machine is a netbook, so it's a bit of a time consumer there.

egan · 2010-01-17 05:37:23

After installing haskell-mtl and the recent update of haskell-x11-xft (0.3-12.1) it seems I can compile the xmonad from the repos. (No more ghc errors on update either).

This worked for me like a charm!

I can confirm that. My xmonad.hs wouldn't recompile even though I didn't change anything in it (I changed it then saved it and then undid the changes.. so the file was the same contents but was a new file). Going throught those steps fixed it.

thanks, that worked perfectly!
