Why there is no support for amd64 version in the port ? Any compile-time errors or runtime errors ? Or didn't have any amd64 box to build it ?

;-) I'm sorry, I didn't remember to say I haven't any amd64 box, so if you could work on this lack, it would be great.

lol, I initially thought it was some bug and got disappointed that I won't be able to contribute any further on this project...:p I've my 8.0-BETA2 (amd64) notebook on which I built ghc-6.10.4 which got built with no issues. ATM, I'm running ghc testsuite[1], I'll post results here as soon as it finishes. I can test ghc-6.10.4 port on my box, if you mail me shar file for AMD64 architecture. ATM, In my current GHC, I've used 6.8.3 to bootstrap. If you also mail me instructions to generate a bootstrap GHC tarball for 6.10.4, I'll be able to test your port with bootstrap GHC 6.10.4 :) Following is the command line I used to build current GHC. #v+ % LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ghc-6.10.4 --with-gmp-includes=/usr/local/include --with-gmp-libraries=/usr/local/lib % gmake #v- Is there anyway to generate a bootstrap GHC tarball from the output of above commands ?
