hi,
|
|
|
|
I am trying to build git annex on lenny.
|
|
|
|
I checked out the latest from git c88d4939453845efee04da811d64aa41046f9c11,
|
|
installed all the packages (some from backports) as required by dpkg-buildpackage
|
|
|
|
Then I get this:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
mkdir -p build
|
|
ghc -odir build -hidir build --make git-annex

I will try to check the mentioned file for error, but I do not know how to program in haskell.

Thanks for your help! --[[cstamas]]
