#9421: Problems and workarounds when installing and using a 32bit GHC on 64bit Linux machine -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: MikolajKonarski MikolajKonarski | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.3 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Operating System: Linux | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: Installing | Blocked By: 6086 GHC failed | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): Hi Mikolaj, thanks so much for your work on this! Could you clarify in the very nice wiki page you have created that these instructions pertain to installing the x86 binary distribution on x86_64 systems? Another possible approach is to build one's own x86_64-to-x86 cross-compiler and cross-compiled x86 compiler from source, following the general directions at Building/CrossCompiling. This currently also works fairly well, though I haven't tested it as thoroughly as you have tested running the x86 binary distribution on x86_64. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9421#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
