Hi there

is your sphinx up to date? If I recall correctly, it needed to be patched for ghc-8.0.2.

That was the issue, I needed to update py-sphinx, while I'm here, is it possible to set the Makefile option so that the sphinx version is >= required? 

lang/ghc takes a veeery long time to compile and for it to fail because of an issue like this is a bit troublesome.

(In reply to bcomputerguy from comment #2)

There was only a backport of a py-sphinx fix (#3212) added to the respective port, without changing the actual version but the port revision -- so I did not really see a reason to set the version on the dependency.  Anyhow, it was committed to both head and the latest quarterly branch around the lang/ghc update (that introduced this dependency), so if you had an up-to-date ports tree, this should not have been an issue.

Did I understand right, this is solved and could be closed?
Comment 5 Gleb Popov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-02-04 10:56:47 UTC 
lang/ghc builds fine for a pretty long time. I think this can be closed.
