I somehow managed to first install everything what's required on system provided 6.6.1 to compile 6.10. I'm not sure if I went step by step 6.6.1->6.8.3->6.10.3 as you try.
No need for 6.8, you can build 6.10 straight with 6.6.
Ok, I guess I didn't try hard enough..
IMHO cross-compilation is no go in this case since I hope I'm right assuming this is not supported in 6.10, but was fixed in 6.12 again.
Kind of. There are still issues with *real* porting to other platforms (#3472, probably more), but it's possible to create hc bootstrapping filesets and use them to bootstrap on the same platform. Even if this sounds kind of useless, it'll help a lot updating the OpenBSD port.
Then it's worth a shot. How would I create those hc bootstrapping filesets? Using the system's ghc-6.6.1? P.S. Thanks for the scripts and for mentioning darcs-all in your other mail. They sure are helpful :) -- Thanos Tsouanas http://mpla.math.uoa.gr/~thanos/
