hi
after some trying, i was unable to get the 6.10.3 prerelease to build on freebsd 7.2. i was trying to use an existing 6.10.2 as my build ghc.
i saved the output of the entire build from ./configure to the point of failure. it is too long too attach here, you can see it at:
http://www.b7j0c.org/ghc-6.10.3.log.txt
it is about 4.4mb
thanks brad
It looks like the problem occurs when building Haskeline: Configuring haskeline-0.6.1.5... checking whether to use -liconv... using -liconv. Setup: Missing dependency on a foreign library: * Missing C library: iconv The problem is that Cabal isn't getting the right argument to look for iconv in (I'm guessing) /usr/local/lib. (Strangely, the Haskeline custom Setup.hs script which detects whether to use iconv is itself succeeding; I should compare the two and see what's different...) Normally this can be fixed by building Haskeline with the Cabal arguments --extra-include-dirs, --extra-lib-dirs; but I don't know how they can be passed through by to the ghc build system. Can you please try, with your working ghc-6.10.2: cd into libraries/haskeline of the release candidate source directory, run runghc Setup configure --user -v3 and send the output. Thanks, -Judah
