What is the exact command to get the relevant ghc sources.
First, make sure that your installed GHC is *not* a snapshot distribution, but one of the main releases (such as 7.6.1 or 7.6.2). You may also want to check out http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation to make sure you have all the needed software. Then, go somewhere convenient on your computer, and run this (assuming Linux/Mac OS): git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git; cd ghc; ./sync-all --testsuite get; perl boot; ./configure; make At the end of that (will probably take about an hour), you will have ghc available in <your convenient location>/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 I believe you can use a --with-ghc=... option to cabal to install packages with an uninstalled ghc. Or, you could use a --prefix=... option to ./configure, above, and then run `make install` after building. I hope this helps! Richard
Thanks for all the switft work. Here's my understanding of the situation: - 7.6.2 has a bug (#7748) in it, which also appears in a lesser form in 7.6.1. - SPJ has a fix, that works for the minimal code given in the bug report. - Others are now trying to verify it fixes the bug as it was discovered in the wild, in the hets package. - Assuming it does fix, Ian will prepare a 7.6.3 release which is just this bug fix as a delta from 7.6.2. If that is the state of the world, then we'll delay the HP 2012.2.0.0 a week for 7.6.3. - Mark
I think that’s right.
