Compile fail in Circle CI 2.0 (out of memory error)

[waddlaw]

I'm using Circle Ci (and stack). locally build is fine. But, get following error message in the Circle CI.

--  While building custom Setup.hs for package mmark-0.0.5.6 using:

This is caused by a regression in GHC, please see: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14974.

Thank you for the information!

Hi there! Have you found any workaround?

I'm trying to set up my Circle CI build and I hit the same issue. Build info:

• docker image: fpco/stack-build
• stack-1.9.3
• ghc-8.6.3

EDIT: It is unrelated to the package mmark.

Thanks!

Just in case someone finds this useful. I got it working by running stack test -j1 instead.

[mrkkrp]

I usually use a special docker image that has pre-built mmark.

Build time and memory usage has significantly gone up again with GHC 9.0.1. I've filed https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19471 for this.
