The enclosed code crashes intermittently. Sometimes it does this: $ ./FEDBug Haskell: making callback Haskell: calling callback native: calling callback Haskell: haskellFunction native: done calling callback Haskell: done And sometimes it does this: $ ./FEDBug Haskell: making callback Haskell: calling callback native: calling callback Illegal instruction It's about 50/50 on my MacOS X machine. The same code never crashes on my Linux/i386 box. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

JVM-Bridge Current Status
by Ashley Yakeley 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

1. Changes So Far The following changes have been checked into CVS since the 0.1 release: Native/ * MacOS X support * Beginnings of mingw32 support * New Sun 1.4 JVM * Now installs in /usr/lib/jvm-bridge/ * ExecuteFunction bindings now done at run-time Haskell/ * MacOS X support * 'Haskell' now a separate Autotools project installing in /usr/lib/jvm-bridge/ * New array region access functions * Correct array types in autogenerated class interfaces * Subtype parameters in autogenerated class interfaces * VMLayer 'env' parameter now implicit * Various changes in the BasicLayer * new native StartExecuteFunction function called by getExecuteFunctionClass, defineCallbackClass I recommend using GHC 5.02.2 or later. Possibly it might work with 5.02. 2. Current Work MacOS X callback support is buggy, and I'm currently working on it. It might a problem with ghc-5.03-13032002-MacOSX (foreign export dynamic), or it might be a bug in JVM-Bridge. Thomas Pasch <extern.thomas.pasch(a)volkswagen.de> has done some work on getting JVM-Bridge to compile under mingw32. I have integrated some of his patches. I do not have a Windows machine myself. I would like to do a 0.2 release, say when both examples work on all three platforms. 3. I have created a new mailing list: <http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jvm-bridge-devel> If you are using JVM-Bridge I encourage you to subscribe. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

cygwin32 snapshot available
by Sigbjorn Finne 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

Hi, for people wanting to use GHC to compile cygwin applications on Win32, I've made available a binary snapshot of current CVS sources, http://galois.com/~sof/ghc-5.03-20020326-cygwin32.tar.gz It is a bare-bones snapshot (no profiling libs, no interpreter, no docs) & is intended for 'enthusiasts' only. The main purpose for putting it together was to help out anyone wanting to build cygwin versions of the GHC sources, something that's tricky to do using the released versions of GHC. hth --sigbjorn

It's not there by default on OS X, but your GHC seems to want it. My workaround is to pass these to GHC: -pgmc cc -pgma cc -pgml cc (actually I use $(CC) instead of cc in my Makefile). Consider using 'cc' instead of 'gcc' for default programs. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

Re: GHC for MacOS X binary - ranlib and libgmp

I'll let you know how it works out... -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

Also, linking with ghc seems to need libgmp: /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/ghc-5.03/libHSconcurrent.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/ghc-5.03/libHSlang.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/ghc-5.03/libHSlang_cbits.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/ghc-5.03/libHShaskell98.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/ghc-5.03/libHSbase.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/ghc-5.03/libHSbase_cbits.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/ghc-5.03/libHSrts.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lgmp Doing ranlib was easy, but I'm not sure about -lgmp. Was there supposed to be a libgmp.a included? I notice other ghc versions for MacOS X include a libgmp.a. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

HC-files for Haskell 5.02

Hmmm.. this was probably for you. Your email address was in the README, but not very obvious on the webpage. /Ole ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2002 02:27:30 +0100 (CET) From: Ole Tange <tange(a)tange.dk> To: simonmar(a)microsoft.com Subject: HC-files for Haskell 5.02 On http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/5.02/building/sec-booting-from-c.html you write: > If we haven't made them available or you can't find them, please ask. I cannot find them on http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_502.html It would be nice if you made 'HC files' in that page a link to the downloadable HC-files (with a short explanation on what HC-files are). /Ole

GHC for MacOS X binary version
by Wolfgang Thaller 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

I have a 14.5MB tar.gz binary version of GHC for MacOS X on my hard disk. It's based on the CVS version from 13th of March. However, I don't have enough webspace to make it available. Does anyone happen to have some room left for that? (haskell.org? anyone else?) Cheers, Wolfgang
