Is there any scheduled release date for GHC 6.8.3 for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on PowerPC G4 machines?
No, but I could rebuild ghc-6.8.3 on Tiger (G5) so that it also runs on a G4. (The G5 dependency of http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.3/maeder/ghc-6.8.3-powerpc-apple-darwin.... was an accident, that happened by wrongly building libgmp, too.) Alternatively you can install ghc-6.8.2 and build ghc-6.8.3 yourself. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_682.html#macosxppc (that relies on old frameworks, though). Or has someone else done this already? The Tiger binaries and ghcs also run under Leopard (but not vice versa). Cheers Christian
I have a G4 PowerBook, currently running Mac OS X 10.2.8 (Jaguar), which I plan to upgrade next week. I also have the upgrade discs for both Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Backing up my hard disk before upgrading takes about 20 hours; it seems a pity to upgrade to Tiger before eventually upgrading to Leopard (unless GHC is never going to be released for Tiger on PowerPC G4 machines, which would be much worse).
