Building fails on macOS

[bronzehedwick]

Hello,

I tried building on macOS Sierra and got the following error:

02:19:14 libpandoc $ make
GHC is version 8.2.1
sed: 1: "libpandoc.cabal": extra characters at the end of l command
cabal configure
Resolving dependencies...
Warning: solver failed to find a solution:
Could not resolve dependencies:
trying: libpandoc-0.8 (user goal)
unknown package: json (dependency of libpandoc-0.8)

After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: libpandoc, jsonTrying configure
anyway.
Configuring libpandoc-0.8...

I installed Haskell Core via the standard package.

Thanks!

Hey,

First of all, there is a sed error there that's weird. The Makefile tries to do:

$(shell sed -i 's/$$compiler/$(GHC_VERSION)/g' libpandoc.cabal)

Where $(GHC_VERSION) as printed out is 8.2.1. Change that to:

$(shell echo sed -i 's/$$compiler/$(GHC_VERSION)/g' libpandoc.cabal)

and tell me what gets echoed (for debugging). In the meantime, open libpandoc.cabal and change $compiler inside it to 8.2.1.

Nevertheless, your problem is even before that change matters. It looks like there is no such package as json anymore. I looked it up and it seems to be replaced with json2. I tried changing it, but I get a build error from json2 when cabal tries to install it. I'm on ghc 8.0.2 though, so perhaps your compiler can compile it? If there is an API mismatch between json and json2, I don't know yet (as I can't yet build). However, give it a shot; open libpandoc.cabal and apply this:

diff --git a/libpandoc.cabal b/libpandoc.cabal

P.S. cabal is really a hack. They claim it's not a package manager, even though it should have been. That said, the make command may not be perfect (and there seems to be no good way of ordering cabal commands). You can run make, watch it fail, then run cabal install --only-dependencies and then run make again.

[ShabbyX]

If you also fail to build json2, we may have to wait a bit until that package is fixed.

[bronzehedwick]

Hi ShabbyX, thanks for getting back to me.

When echoing the sed command, I get this output:

GHC is version 8.2.1

I tried patching the libpandoc.cabal file as you mentioned, then running make, cabal install --only-dependencies, then make again, but once again got the error :(.

Does this mean we wait until json2 is fixed?

Here's the output.

09:12:34 libpandoc $ cabal install --only-dependencies

https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3353 (if you didn't type --root-cmd,

I think you copied the wrong output from the echo. You got the first line, but you should have copied the second line (it should start with sed since you are echoing that command!)

It seems like, for you, cabal doesn't even find the json2 package. You know what, try to do:

cabal update

And then try to install dependencies again:

cabal install --only-dependencies

The update invocation makes sure the "catalog" of packages is up to date.

[bronzehedwick]

My fault on the echo. Here's the full output:

exception was:
ExitFailure 1

Alright, the sed problem may have something to do with quotations (or maybe shell difference? I don't have a mac to test). Give another try for me, will you? Replace this line:

$(shell sed -i 's/$$compiler/$(GHC_VERSION)/g' libpandoc.cabal)

with this:

sed -i 's/$$compiler/$(GHC_VERSION)/g' libpandoc.cabal

And see if that helps.

Regarding the build, you also have a problem building json2, so I'm afraid there is little we can do until that is fixed (I tried using an older version of json2, but that requires a whole other set of older (therefore conflicting) library versions).

Got it regarding the json2 issue.

Regarding sed, the update gave the same error, but I did get it to work with this:

$(shell cat libpandoc.cabal | sed -i 's/$$compiler/$(GHC_VERSION)/g')

Well, that sed command doesn't actually modify the file, which was the intention.

[bronzehedwick]

Duh of course. My bad.
