Hi, I want to compile ghc on my office box, which does not have any binary ghc exist.
First, porting with an unregistered build is currently supported from GHC 6.4 to GHC 6.6 - it does not work in 6.8 nor will it work in 6.10 (ghc is getting a new build system and other nice stuff so hopefully it will be in 6.12.) Try with something like http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.4.2/ghc-6.4.2-src.tar.bz2 Of course, you must be able to build 6.4.2 on your host machine as well - if you are using Linux this shouldn't be a problem.
