On https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms Sparc is still wrongly listed as Tier 2 platform with "Reg'd" being "Yes" Cheers Christian Am 24.02.2014 10:49, schrieb Christian Maeder:
Hi Karel,
the last version of a registered build (that I know about and worked for me) is ghc-7.0.4 (see below). I was not able (or gave up) to build ghc-7.2 on sparc.
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7106#comment:3 for ghc-7.4 says that "Sparc is unregisterised now that the registerised C backend has been removed".
Cheers Christian

Folks,
just out of curiosity I'm building latest GHC on SPARC/Solaris and I've noted that current GHCs (7.6 and HEAD) are building unregisterised by default. In the history I remember at least some GHC were registerised and GHC source code also (still) contains SPARC NCG so I'm curious what was the reason behind the switch? Any bug still waiting for a fix? Or just code rotted in a way it's not working any more?
Thanks! Karel _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
