building ghc 7.10.2 (dependency for git-annex) fails on Mountain Lion

[karawitan]

Hello,

when trying to compile ghc on Mountain Lion, here is what I get .. I tried to look at the ghc "Formula" ( /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Formula/ghc.rb ), but I don't understand (yet) how to strip off the offending llvm-gcc flags "-Wno-invalid-pp-token" and "-Wno-unicode" .

any hints would be greatly appreciated;

iMac:~ admin$ 

[karawitan]

Ok finally solved it thanks to "brew install --debug" When install step failed, Brew offered me a few choices, among which I choose to run a shell.

Then, I just add to remove the offending flags,

bash-3.2$ pwd /private/tmp/ghc--binary20200126-81029-sp839b/ghc-7.10.2

bash-3.2$ find . -name *mk | xargs grep token grep: ./mk: Is a directory ./mk/config.mk:RAWCPP_FLAGS += -Wno-invalid-pp-token -Wno-unicode -Wno-trigraphs

And, 'make install'

Thank you! I'll try to fix this in the formula.

Tried the following patch to ghc.rb Formula:

I have a bunch of ghc versions for 64bit Intel 10.6 and up, and stack/cabal here https://github.com/kencu/ghc-for-older-darwin-systems/releases .

I have not tried 10.4 or 10.5, however. Last I looked both the PPC and i386 code generation has bitrotted, but I haven't tried recently.
