Description Trond Endrestøl 2020-03-02 15:51:29 UTC 
After libncursesw.so.8 recently became libncursesw.so.9 in -CURRENT, ghc-pkg started to complain:

Installing library in /construction/xports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-8.6.5-boot/lib/ghc-8.6.5/ghc-8.6.5
"/construction/xports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-8.6.5-boot/lib/ghc-8.6.5/bin/ghc-pkg" --force --global-package-db "/construction/xports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-8.6.5-boot/lib/ghc-8.6.5/package.conf.d" update rts/dist/package.conf.install
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libncursesw.so.8" not found, required by "ghc-pkg"

The above is from an attempt at using ports-mgmt/synth to build lang/ghc. We might need new bootstrappers for -CURRENT.

I'm aware of the problem, just don't have time to take a look at that.

I believe, this can be fixed by adding compat12x port to BUILD_DEPENDS. Maybe you can try that?

Success! Thank you.
Comment 3 Evilham 2020-03-09 19:11:58 UTC 
In case someone comes wanting to spend time on this:
I think I have an simple patch, it's building now and requires also testing on 12, will probably submit in CET morning.

(In reply to Evilham from comment #3)
That would be great! I can test it for 12 and 11.
Comment 5 Evilham 2020-03-10 10:13:37 UTC 
*sigh* can't add the patch kw :-D anyway.

Here is the patch: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24014
(note I created that with `arc diff lang/ghc --preview` and then from the web interface, still getting used to this :-))


Tested against 12 and 13, used it to build the new version of elm-format in poudriere and things appear to work fine.
