1.- OK. The "distrib/hc-build" migth not handle the dependencies soundly.
What do you mean here? Could you elaborate?
Now I build on the target T as in the host H:
cd hslibs/ && gmake boot && gmake cd ghc && gmake boot && gmake
The "touch config.h" patch seems to solve the stg_ap_v_ret bug...
2.- Now the problem seems to be another one:
bash-2.05$ ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace hello.hs
crash, and tracing the core it seems a problem having to do with gmp software:
bash-2.05a$ gdb ghc-6.0.1 core
# 0x1153a208 in __decodeFloat ()
if I apply the "-v" flag, then
bash-2.05$ ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -v hello.hs bash-2.05a$ gdb ghc-6.0.1 core
# 0x11554ae4 in __gmpn_tdiv_qr / ( qp=0x454ed518 ...)
Any idea ?
Adding -v shouldn't make any difference! Try using a debugging version of the RTS (see mk/config.mk for instructions). Is the build attempting to use an already-installed copy of GMP, or is it building the one in the tree?
3) Simon M. : For the time beeing this is the patch you can integrate safely into the CVS repository . I have read-only permissions. There is no doubt on it.
Thanks. I noticed that this was the same as the Solaris case, so I merged the two. Cheers, Simon
