Which OSX version, Cabal version, GHC version and Haste version are you using?

This is usually a symptom of haste-boot failing somewhere along the way. What is the output if you run haste-boot --force to re-bootstrap Haste?

viclib commented 10 years ago

Hello! I've tried again with a new completely clean installation of Haskell-Platform for OSX Mavericks. I'm getting another error now. This is the output of haste-boot --force:

I'm getting errors with haste-boot that are similar to this as well on Mac OS X.

valderman commented 10 years ago

It seems that this problem is caused by OSX pretending that clang is actually GCC. While this is obviously a problem with OSX, not Haste, it seems like a shame to leave Mac users out in the cold.

I'm not quite sure how to proceed here, probably by requiring that users on OSX provide the path to a working GCC binary on the command line. In the meantime, here is a workaround for this OSX bug: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19851315/error-installing-stylish-haskell-on-mac-os-x-on-haskell-platform-2013-2-0-0

viclib commented 10 years ago

Weird error right now -

Guess some server is offline? I'll be trying in a few hours. Edit: oh I see ekblad.cc's role. So that's it, I'll be waiting. My bad.

bergmark commented 10 years ago

To the people having problems, how have you installed GHC? The haskell platform binary installer is somewhat broken, even if you use the clang-wrapper fix. Installing haskell-platform from homebrew solves all the problems I've seen in this area. But I can't tell for sure that this is the actual issue, and I haven't tried to reproduce this myself.

bitemyapp commented 10 years ago

@bergmark yeah I was using haskell-platform the binary. I'll try homebrew.

bitemyapp commented 10 years ago

@bergmark I got further, but can't install any packages. See #145

bitemyapp commented 10 years ago

Do any of the developers use a Mac? If so, are they using the homebrew install of ghc and haskell-platform?

valderman commented 10 years ago

Unfortunately, no. It would be great to have some more involved people with OSX or Windows as their primary platform...

aycanirican commented 10 years ago

I am using haste-compiler on mavericks and had no problem so far. Just installed ghc (from haskell.org) and Mark's clang-wrapper http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2013-October/111174.html

bergmark commented 10 years ago

You basically want an extra maintainer for each of these platforms. Unless someone in here volunteers I'd recommend advertising for it. I think a lot of people would be happy to take it on, it shouldn't be that big of a commitment. They would test before releases, answer related support tickets, it's open ended of course. Windows users may be hard to come by, but a lot of Haskell people use OS X.

I also think a lot of people like to be officially mentioned as members of projects - no matter the size of their role. Free software is great for building a CV :)

Generally with FOSS projects I find that trying to designate someone works best, it can be as simple as asking "You reported this bug, will you fix it?" - but in a more SPJ-friendly manner :-) - instead of just hoping that someone will grab it. It also makes it clear if someone is actually working on it.

Or, get a build server, but this probably isn't free so I hope no one expects that from you!

viclib commented 10 years ago

OK, uninstalled everything, installed again with brew, checked it is properly linked to gcc-4.2, updated cabal, installed haste-compiler. Now I get this:

Linking vec.js
Linking Main
hastec: /Users/vhsmaia/.haste/jsmods/main/Main.jsmod: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Ideas?

Edit: managed to get it work by using Main.hs instead of vec.hs and changing the module name.

valderman commented 10 years ago

This is because of #89; the Haste linker is currently quite stupid about where to start looking for main and just barfs out a fairly nonsensical error message when it can't find it. It's on the "to fix" list for sure.

didhe commented 10 years ago

is this still a problem as of latest ghc? [basically 7.8.* since last update here]

valderman commented 10 years ago

This is probably fixed when using GHC 7.8, since that comes with some patches to support the fun clang stuff that caused the original issue. Could you try it out and report back?

I have tried a fresh 7.8.3 install with cabal-install-1.20, and cabal install succeeded, but haste-boot --force --local fails with:

Just reporting in case is useful for someone else to get some insight.

bergmark commented 10 years ago

This is at least partly due to a recent change in Cabal (maybe also ghc-pkg? not sure). It adds the installed constraint for non-upgradeable packages that ship with GHC.

valderman commented 10 years ago

@bergmark That's weird, I'm using Cabal 1.20 on my Linux dev box, and I just successfully booted Haste using 1.20 on a Windows box. I've also never had any bug reports from anyone running Linux or Windows having this problem. Any ideas as to why this problem only seems to manifest itself to Mac users?

adinapoli commented 10 years ago

@valderman good news! haste-0.4 worked out of the box. haste-boot spits out a bunch of warnings but the installation succeeds. This example does work too:

module Main where

import Haste

main :: IO ()
main = alert "hello"

Question remain on the "example" folder though. I have tried the calculator and the canvas examples, running their makefiles and opening the index.html file, but they do not seem to do anything. The canvas example doesn't dispay anything, and the calculator one never calculates (result is always 0). Any idea?

But definitely this is a huge improvement for GHC 7.8.3 and Mac Os X users! keep up the good work!

valderman commented 10 years ago

That's great! The examples are most likely broken due to a problem with the 0.4 runtime not always being aware of tailcalls, causing programs that involve callbacks to break under many circumstances. The bug is fixed in master and there will be a 0.4.1 release with the fix real soon. On 30 Aug 2014 12:16, "Alfredo Di Napoli" notifications@github.com wrote:

adinapoli commented 10 years ago

I see. In that case is safe to wait for 0.4.1 before trying again :)

valderman commented 10 years ago

Just a heads up: 0.4.1 is live on Hackage and haste-lang.org now.

adinapoli commented 10 years ago

Fantastic! I'll make sure to give it a go tomorrow :)

adinapoli commented 10 years ago

@valderman as you anticipated, the examples are now working with the latest haste-compiler! (0.4.1) Awesome job!

A.

Unable to reproduce this anymore on master, so I'm assuming it is fixed. If not, please reopen with new repro instructions.
