It looks like everything went fine on the CI server, and I built it before I committed it. Is it possible it was running the tests? They take much, much longer than building the compiler. It took the CI server over five hours to build the whole derivation. How long did you wait? -- Tim ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

That’s certainly odd. I would have expected it to indicate that it had started the check phase. Without a way to reproduce this, I doubt we’ll be able to fix it. For that reason, I’m opting to close this bug now. However, if you notice anything like this again, we can always reopen it. > One last question: I notice from haskell.scm that "ghc" presently > refers to ghc-8, which refers to ghc-8.4.

The default GHC version for building Guix’s Haskell packages is 8.4.3, but the newest version is 8.6.5. When you tell Guix that you want “ghc” it finds the latest version, rather than the version it uses for other packages. This is the same as GCC. Even though Guix uses GCC 5 as it’s default compiler, if you install “gcc-toolchain”, you’ll get version 9. This all happens based on the “name” fields of the packages rather than the Guile variables used to refer to them. Hence the “ghc” variable name is only meaningful insofar as it’s what the Haskell build system uses as its default compiler. -- Tim ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
