Except that x86_64 doesn't have support for object splitting yet, so you need to add a file mk/build.mk with the line: SplitObjs=NO to turn off splitting. For some reason that I don't quite understand, it seems from the error message that you posted the compiler is attempting to generate code for -split-objs, which is causing the assembler to fall over. Turning off splitting should fix that anyway. Cheers, Simon

The full list of things you need to touch are: $ touch ghcautoconf.h DerivedConstants.h GHCConstants.h mkDerivedConstants.c mkDerivedConstantsHdr mkDerivedConstants.o mkGHCConstants mkGHCConstants.o I must have avoided making in ghc/includes when I did the bootstrap myself.

The 'load' function lets you load only up to a certain module, and the JustTypecheck mode stops before code generation and lets you inspect the typechecked code. Using this, you can compile one module at a time and get the typechecked code out - does that sound ok? There are some areas to do with getting access to the typechecked class declarations and some other parts of the module that we have still to sort out. The refactoring folks also want access to the renamed code (before typechecking), which includes more of the original declarations. > We, for our part, would need parts of the intermediate result (that > is, the type environment and class declarations) existing either > before parsing A, after parsing A, or, even better, after renaming > A.

The CmdLineMode will be private to the front end only, but there's a related GhcMode that now lives in the DynFlags. Take a look at the HEAD as it is now (I just commmitted some big changes in this area in preparation for the GHC API). > Maybe we could even introduce a Session monad?

The TH types aren't really rich enough for all the purposes we expect this interface to be used for. In particular, the data type needs to include the full GHC language, it needs to include full source location information (the refactoring folks need this, and so does Visual Studio), and it needs to include type information for identifiers. Only HsSyn includes all this. Cheers, Simon

Updated 6.4 Windows installer RC
by Sigbjorn Finne 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

An updated version of the Windows installer for ghc-6.4 is now available for testing, http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6-4-bld1.msi md5 checksum: 4a55a5614587cef07a19d7f7728f3a83 It hopefully sorts out the showstopping profiling problems that people have reported; let me know if it doesn't and/or there are other packaging snafus. If nothing major pops up, I'll consider the bits blessed and hook the installer up to the GHC downloads page. Note: - the installer re-uses the product GUIDs of the original 6.4 installer, so if you've already got it installed, it'll remove that install the first time you run it. - the HGL and Win32 packages have been removed from the installer at the suggestion of the package author(s); deemed not quite yet ready for primetime, I believe. --sigbjorn

Unicode Source / Keyboard Layout
by Sven Moritz Hallberg 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Greetings GHC and Haskell folk, please excuse the cross-post. This is a coordinational message. :) I've been longing for Unicode (UTF-8) input support in GHC for a long time. I am currently customizing a keyboard layout to include many mathematical operators and special characters which would be very useful in writing even prettier (!) Haskell code. I'd be interested to complete the keyboard layout and make it public, to raise the value of Unicode input support. When will it happen? To make the fun complete, I think a few adjustments to the Haskell grammar would be in order, so, guessing the relevant people read these lists, may I suggest the following? 1. In addition to the backslash, accept "mathematical * small lamda" (U+1D6CC, U+1D706, U+1D740, U+1D77A, and U+1D7B4) for lambda abstractions. Leave "greek small letter lamda" as a regular letter, so the Greeks can write their native language. 2. In addition to "->", accept "rightwards arrow" U+2192 as the function arrow. 3. Accept "leftwards arrow" U+2190 in do and notation. 4. Accept "leftwards arrow-tail" U+2919 in arrow notation. 5. Accept "rightwards double arrow" U+21D2 in addition to "=>" for type contexts. 6. Accept "for all" U+2200 in addition to the forall keyword. 7. Remove the symbols for clearly prefix operators (n-ary summation and product, logical not, etc.) from the set of characters used to build binary operators. Leave them as identifier letters, so they can be bound to regular functions. Did I forget anything? Being a Macintosh user, I've assembled a Mac OS keylayout file. For anyone interested, the current version can be downloaded: http://www.scannedinavian.org/~pesco/distfiles/hallberg-dvorak.zip The base layout is Dvorak. Caps Lock switches to Greek mode, where 'a' changes to alpha, 'b' to beta, etc. Alt (Option) accesses the symbol map. Shift-Alt gives a second level of symbols. Currently, the symbol map contains german Umlaute for me. I'll most probably move them behind dead-keys soon, though. (A-e giving Ä etc.) I can produce an XKB map for X11 once I'm happy with the layout. It would be cool if someone could also port the thing to Windows around that time. Please get in touch if you're interested. Let me know what you think, Sven Moritz Hallberg

porting ghc-6.4 to x86_64
by Andrei A. Voropaev 21 Mar '05

Hello! I know that this has been done already (at least by RedHat), but since I don't use RedHat (or any other distro of linux) and instead compiled everything myself, I have to bootstrap ghc as well. So I'm carefully following the instruction. On my host (i386) I have ghc-6.2.2 (and ghc-6.4). Looks like I have some problem.

6.4 vs 6.2.2 can't compile darcs-1.0.2

Hello! Today I've tried to compile darcs-1.0.2 and for that I've installed the ghc-6.4-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 (in-place) When I tried to compile, configure script from darcs complained that it couldn't figure out how to do OpenFd (or someting similar). Then I've installed ghc-6.2.2-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 (also in-place). Now compilation was sucessfull. Are these 2 versions not compatible? -- Minds, like parachutes, function best when open
