Folks, thanks to 64bit GHC binaries provided by Alain's SmartOS builder I've been able to hack GHC to compile well on/for x86_64-solaris platform. Austin already merged the support into GHC HEAD, see https://phabricator.haskell.org/rGHC6da603213b097a267418d8c14cbfaf0021ac2b2c It would be great if you also give it a try and test on your systems or with cross-compiling without a need to install SmartOS libraries. Thanks! Karel On 04/10/14 09:39 AM, Christian Maeder wrote:
Hi,
I've tried to cross-compile https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8910 but did not succeed, yet.
There seem to be problems with Int64 and/or Word data types. The proper start would be to make a careful comparison of the test-suite results, but there are already failures for the 32bit version (under Solaris 10). Unfortunately I don't have time to look into it further.
Cheers Christian

Hi Karel,
That is great!
Do you know if there any plans for 64-bit build of GHC for Solaris 11?
