Re: Building GHC on Mac OS 10.2.1

Hello, Sometimes, ghc complains about '#' for me when the C preprocessor has not been run and there is an unexpected #include or #define in the way. Also, as I read ifeq "$(ghc_ge_603)" "YES" # These modules are provided in GHC 6.3+ EXCLUDED_SRCS += \ System/Directory/Internals.hs ... endif in compat/Makefile, the particular compilation that you are stuck on here should be excluded if you were using ghc-6.3 or newer. I am using a ghc-6.4.1 and building ghc-6.6 does not involve building compat/System/Directory/Internals.o. Best regards Thorkil On Saturday 30 December 2006 07:56, Kirsten Chevalier wrote:

The latest is that while I was able to successfully install gcc 3.3, it made no difference at all. I was able to make some progress by running configure with --disable-threaded-rts. But, now I get:

My /usr/local/bin/ghc is ghc 6.0.1, which... *should* recognize OPTIONS (or any other pragma), right? Various documentation claims you should be able to bootstrap with anything newer than 5.0.4. I'm not *entirely* sure where the existing old version of ghc I have installed came from. But I think it's a standard build. Can anyone tell what's up? I've built ghc I-don't-know-how-many-times now and I'm *still* mystified by this.

Thanks, Kirsten
