Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-haskell mailing
list <haskell at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 246800: lang/ghc: ghc cannot be installed because ghc is not installed
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246800



--- Description ---
This is what happens:

  root at packager /usr/ports/lang/ghc # make
  [...]
  ===>	Configuring for ghc-8.8.3_1
  cp -f /usr/ports/lang/ghc/work/build.mk
/usr/ports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-8.8.3/mk/build.mk
  configure: loading site script /usr/ports/Templates/config.site
  [...]
  checking for ghc... /usr/local/bin/ghc
  checking version of ghc... unknown
  configure: error: Cannot determine the version of /usr/local/bin/ghc.  Is it
really GHC?
  ===>	Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
  [...]
  *** Error code 1

  Stop.
  make: stopped in /usr/ports/lang/ghc

I detected that GHC=/usr/local/bin/ghc is added to the ./configure
arguments list. Then I gave up.

I removed the port and package because a previous build failed and
I wanted to finish all other updates before solving this problem.
