I could build a binary distribution (without OpenGL/GLUT/OpenAL) from yesterday's cvs under solaris as well. However, I'ld like to see the ghci linking/Mangler problem being fixed. (I've no time to look into it, soon.) Christian Geisler, Tim (EXT) wrote:

To build ghc-6.4.1.20050806, I used ghc-6.4.1.20050731 which was built with Christian Maeder's binary distribution for Solaris (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.4.1-sparc-sun-solaris 2.tar.bz2) from June 2005.
I was able to build all our Haskell code. Some first tests were successful.
