Re: Cross-compiling to Haiku

Hi,

I seem to have managed to build a cross-compiler for Haiku, but am having trouble installing it. Possibly I'm missing something during the build, which didn't get pointed out to me at the time.

On the Linux host, the build was basically: export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/haiku/gcc4/cross-compiler ./configure --target=i586-pc-haiku --enable-unregisterised --prefix=/opt make make binary-dist

In Haiku, after editing configure to set GHC_PWD=pwd (the bundled ghc_pwd is built for the host, not the target...), that part seems to go well. But in make install I get the following errors/output:

...

./configure --prefix=/boot/home/config/non-packaged .... Configuration done, ready to 'make install'

...

make install make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk install BINDIST=YES NO_INCLUDE_DEPS=YES ghc.mk:680: libraries/old-time/ghc.mk: No such file or directory ghc.mk:680: libraries/haskell98/ghc.mk: No such file or directory ghc.mk:680: libraries/haskell2010/ghc.mk: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libraries/haskell2010/ghc.mk'. Stop. make: *** [install] Error 2

I presume those are the standard libraries it's trying to install?

Hi Jessica: I think that can happen if the source tree isn't "booted". Did you run `./sync-all --no-dph get && perl boot` on the Haiku target system? (this might not be necessary with bindist, so I'm guessing) It would be really cool to have GHC for Haiku. Best, Alain
