9 years ago That's weird, our Travis bot specifically tests with cabal and GHC 7.10 to help with the bootstrap case. I'll see if I can repro.

9 years ago I tried using the stackage nightly cabal.config and it fails with the same error as well.

9 years ago I just completed a build in the same setup, and it worked correctly. We do have CPP in place to work around this issue... can you try unpacking the source and removing lines 41-43 of the file in question? It could be that Cabal (for some reason) isn't setting the CPP macros itself.

9 years ago Removing just lines 41-43 left me with the same error, but removing lines 41-46 fixed the error for me. stack now compiles and runs correctly.

9 years ago That's quite unexpected. If you don't mind, could you tell me the contents of your cabal_macros.h file, and specifically the MIN_VERSION_time macro? Mine looks like:
#define VERSION_time "1.5.0.1"
#define MIN_VERSION_time(major1,major2,minor) (\
(major1) < 1 || \
(major1) == 1 && (major2) < 5 || \
(major1) == 1 && (major2) == 5 && (minor) <= 0)It looks like my version of cpphs was too old.
Building stack with cpphs version 1.17.1 caused the error above.
Building stack with cpphs version 1.19 worked.
Is there some way to specify in the .cabal file that a recent version of cpphs is needed?
Also, I can get stack to build by removing the use of cpphs. In the ghc-options: line of stack.cabal, I tried removing the -pgmP and -optP options. It builds successfully.

9 years ago Cabal does not actually support build tools at all, so adding the versions wouldn't help. I believe we've already removed the cpphs stuff from master, so that wool be included in the next release. Thanks for looking into this more deeply.
