you need to build the whole tree (using "gmake") with a file mk/build.mk that just contains the lines: [..]
I will try it.
I guess, because 6.4.3 includes some fixes, it make sense to do the packaging for that version instead of 6.4.2.
yes, but may be wait until the threaded rts works
I tried 6.4 cvs from 20060607 at Solaris 10 x86 and have no problems with a threaded rts here (did a stage3 build to test it).
If no one packages for Solaris sparc, I could do that, too.
I've done that already: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets...
I tried that package at a sparc Solaris 8 mashine. The problem here is, that some shared libs are not available: # ldd /var/tmp/gsauthof/ghc-6.4.2-20060529/lib/ghc-6.4.2/ghc-6.4.2 libreadline.so.5 => (file not found) libncurses.so.5 => (file not found) libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 libm.so.2 => (file not found) libgmp.so.3 => (file not found) libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000/lib/libc_psr.so.1 Because of the missing libm.so.2 - did you build it at Solaris > 8? About the other dependencies - sure I can fix them by installing the needed packages (the notes at the download page for 6.4.1 sparc list them as dependencies, too). But I am wondering if this dependencies are necessary for ghc binary packages. It looks like a copy a libgmp is included in the ghc source and readline support could be left out. Btw, after reading the ghc support matrix and following ticket: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/186 - I suppose, that the >= 6.4.1 solaris sparc binary packages don't use the NCG?
