Installing ghc64 rpm in a local folder?
by Patrick Scheibe 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

Hi, I'm new to Fedora. I need a very new version of the ghc compiled with --with-hopengl. On this machine isn't any ghc. So I started as usual trying to install a binary first ghc. I took the ghc64-6.4-4.x86_64.rpm package from the fedorahaskell site and tried to install it locally (because I have no root passwd) with ~>rpm --install --prefix "$HOME/built" "software/haskell/ghc64-6.4-4.x86_64.rpm" warning: software/haskell/ghc64-6.4-4.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID aedf7ebb error: package ghc64 is not relocatable How can I get a first ghc running? And is it possible to compile a new one in the same simple way like on a non 64 bit machine? I never worked on a x86_64 machine before. Cheers Patrick

I think the message is a bit misleading: the compiler needs GHCi support in order to run TH code, and x86_64 doesn't have GHCi yet, even in a stage2 compiler (the RTS linker needs work).

Hallo, when trying to compile Pugs with ghc64 (ghc64-6.4-4 rpm, athlon 64) I get message like the following: src/Compile/Haskell.hs:28:25: Template Haskell bracket illegal in a stage-1 compiler [| return (VStr s) |] It seems that I got a stage 1 compiler...anybody? --------------------------------- John van Krieken, AT Computing BV, 024-3527242 john(a)ATComputing.nl, http://www.ATComputing.nl/images/pasfotos/john.jpg

It is a registerised build, bootstrapped from your snap binary some days ago. Jens

Fedora packages of new GHC and Hugs releases
by Jens Petersen 14 Mar '05

Hugs98-Mar2005 and ghc-6.4 are available in the Fedora Haskell package repositories for a couple of days now for i386 and x86_64. (nhc98 coming shortly.) For more information about Fedora Haskell see <http://haskell.org/fedora/>. Jens

hugs98 snapshot build available for i386 and x86_64
by Jens Petersen 10 Mar '05

I finally packaged hugs98 for Fedora Haskell, starting boldly with the latest development snapshot 20050308! :) Lightly tested: let me know if you find any packaging problems. Jens

hs-plugins-0.9.8 update available
by Jens Petersen 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

hs-plugins has been updated to 0.9.8 for i386. There is also a first untested build for x86_64, though it doesn't work with released ghc as is at least, so it is more of a curiousity. Jens

Announce: Cabal2rpm
by Tom Moertel 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

I would like to announce the availability of cabal2rpm, a tool that converts Cabal package descriptions into RPM spec files. Get it here: http://community.moertel.com/ss/space/Cabal2rpm Description: This tool converts Haskell Cabal package-descriptions (.cabal files) into RPM spec files. It makes reasonable guesses at what should go in the specs, but because ``Cabalized'' tarballs presently do not have a standardized layout and naming conventions, you may need to make some adjustments. The syntax for using cabal2rpm is as follows: cabal2rpm package.cabal [name=value...] > package.spec The resulting RPM spec file can be fed to rpmbuild to build binary packages. Note: All packages built by cabal2rpm are targeted to a specific release of GHC from the Fedora Haskell project. Thus if you build Cabal for GHC 6.2.2, you will end up with the following RPMs: cabal-ghc622-0.5-1.i386.rpm cabal-ghc622-debuginfo-0.5-1.i386.rpm cabal-ghc622-0.5-1.src.rpm Cheers, Tom

More Fedora RPMs available: WASH/CGI, Emacs Haskell mode, HaskellDB, and HSQL
by Tom Moertel 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Dear Fedora Haskell users, I have packaged a few Haskell-related RPMs for Fedora Core. Right now, the packages are on my Community Projects site, but I would welcome the opportunity to migrate them to the official Fedora Haskell repository. You can access the repository here: http://community.moertel.com/ss/space/RPMs Here are the Haskell-related packages that I have: * Emacs Haskell mode -- Emacs major mode for editing Haskell code. * WashNGo -- The complete set of Web Authoring System Haskell (WASH) libraries as in one convenient, ready-to-roll RPM. (WASH/CGI is an embedded, domain-specific language for server-side Web scripting.) * HaskellDB -- Provides support for ODBC, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Requires HSQL, either my GHC HSQL package (see next item) or HToolkit's HSQL package. * HSQL. Provides support for ODBC, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. (The spec file for my packaging was based on the one provided by Conny Andersson for the HToolkit project.) I welcome any packaging feedback or criticisms you may have. In particular, if you encounter any problems with these packages, please let me know. Cheers, Tom
