Status of nhc98 on 64bit platforms
by Sven Panne 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Just out of curiosity, I've just tried to build and install nhc98 from the darcs repo on an x86_64 Linux platform (vanilla "./configure && make", a rather recent GHC from darcs is in the PATH). This resulted in thousands of warnings and errors from GCC like: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size error: initializer element is not constant The resulting nhc98 is unusable, yielding dozens of errors from the linker for a "Hello, world!" program. So what is the current status on 64bit platforms? Are the problems fixable within a reasonable timeframe? If yes, some hints where to look for bugs would be appreciated, perhaps I can have a try... Cheers, S.
