I'll solve this library thing, try and build a compiler. And then try a sparc.
I have found that I need to copy the library/ .hi files across, although Simon Marlow seemed to think that should be unnecessary. Also, ghc/driver/package.conf.inplace seems to become the empty list; I haven't bothered to look into this as it's easy enough just to copy ghc/driver/package.conf.inplace.old over the top of it. This isn't following the new docs online so YMMV.
Exactly! I tarred up the libraries/ .hi files on the host box: $ find libraries -name '*.hi' -print > /tmp/f $ tar czf ghc-6.0.1-hi.tar.gz `cat /tmp/f` copied them across, and untarred over the tree. Also needed the package.conf.in tweak. And I had to turn off "dl" in the extra_libraries list of package.co.inplace (for FreeBSD). Yay! A pretty straightforward cross-os bootstrap, from i386-*-openbsd to i386-*-freebsd: $ cat hello.hs import System.Info main = print System.Info.arch >> print System.Info.os $ ghc/ghc-6.0.1/ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace --numeric-version 6.0.1 $ ghc/ghc-6.0.1/ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace hello.hs $ % ./a.out "i386" "freebsd" I'll try a cross-processor port now.
