patch applied (nhc98): Fixed ARCH confusion
by Sven Panne 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Thu Mar 1 04:03:30 PST 2007 sven.panne(a)aedion.de * Fixed ARCH confusion When ghc_floats.c is compiled, we do *not* use ARCH flags like -m32, because this code is linked to code compiled by GHC, which uses the native ABI. The correct way to compile ghc_floats.c would be using GHC itself, because then ABI compability is guaranteed. Due to my limited knowledge of nhc98's build system, I leave this to Malcolm... M ./src/compiler98/Makefile -1 +1

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.

syntax error in `sh start`
by Isaac Dupree 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/nhc98/ cd nhc98/ sh start At various times it outputs, [: 24: ==: unexpected operator sometimes followed by "Invalid repository: (whatever)" The line in the 'start' script if [ "$pkgname" == "$package" ] should be if [ "$pkgname" = "$package" ] (at least, changing it like that made it work for me, as it should, seeing `man [`.) P.S. It seems my darcs (1.0.8 (release)) sometimes hangs on partial gets and has to be kill -9'ed or equivalent -- I had to restart it for HaXML here (earlier I gave up on --partial for ghc repo)... I hope to be able to verify the "easy to install" claim made on http://www.haskell.org/nhc98/ ... given my architecture(powerpc) and my OS(ubuntu linux, currently), there were no binaries/automatic installation, and last time I tried compiling it from source (version 1.18 I think) I got some errors (real ones, rather than GCC's regularly crashing non-reproducibly on my machine)... When the build is over I guess I'll report on the results :) Isaac -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF5L7BHgcxvIWYTTURAl8MAJ0etfMGGOGF34oYA09HrpLyxQHwKACfRtcy rCV5YfrzeYVTTUPjqahNSFg= =t/cq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
