To be more precise, I want to know how to create the ghc-$version-$arch-boot.tar.bz2 file to redistribute to users so that they can build GHC easily, and that on a platform that already has a working (but older) GHC installation.
So far, I've been able to find out that I want to use the binary-dist make target, and that this requires me to put BIN_DIST=1 in mk/build.mk. Other than that, I'm pretty much lost.
That's basically it. Assuming you're using a released GHC: echo "BIN_DIST=1" >> mk/build.mk ./configure make make binary-dist stage=2 It doesn't currently work in the HEAD, but I'm working on that. Thanks Ian
