Is it possible to build haskell platform on FreeBSD 8?

I think it worked for me last time when I tried. You should use GHC 6.12.1, it is important. Are you on amd64? I can give you a bindist for GHC 6.12.1. (and I already wanted to add it the GHC home page, perhaps I should do it now.)

Hello, Gabor! Thank you, unfortunately I do use 32-bit version. -- Eugene N Dzhurinsky

Okay, I roll you a 6.12.1-freebsd8-i386 bindist then :)

Thanks :) BTW, when compiling some haskell sources - I am getting warning like import Prelude is deprecated, is it normal? -- Eugene N Dzhurinsky

You can download it from here (until it is not at haskell.org):

http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/haskell/ghc/

Thanks. So do I need to install GHC 6.12.1, then build Haskell Platform using cabal, and then update to GHC 6.12.2?

Could you post an error message?

In fact it is not an error message, just warning when I trying to install something from hackage using cabal. -- Eugene N Dzhurinsky

I think that has to do with deprecation of base 3.x in GHC 6.12.x. Its normal.

Seems so - those messages are just warnings, not errors. Thanks, now I'm feeling safer :) -- Eugene N Dzhurinsky

Install GHC 6.12.1 and then Haskell Platform. You do not need 6.12.2 :)
