Hi, I've created the following binary distributions, but -- like Serge Mechveliani -- I'm not very happy with the results, because the created binaries are much bigger. http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/pc-solaris/ghcs/ghc-6.8.3-i386-unknown-solaris2.... http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/pc-solaris/ghcs/ghc-6.8.3-tests.log.bz2 http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/mac/ghcs/ghc-6.8.3-powerpc-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/mac/ghcs/ghc-6.8.3-tests.log.bz2 The log files contain the results of running "(g)make stage=2" in testsuite/tests/ghc-regress. The summaries are below. The Tiger Mac OS PPC (8.11.0 Darwin) distribution relies on libreadline.5.2.dylib and libncurses.5.dylib under /opt/local/lib/. libgmp.a is statically linked in. Due to the increased code sizes it is more likely to get "relocation overflow" (therefore this distribution does not work for our hets project). http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2031 For i386 Solaris it would be good to have a GHC build slave to improve the testsuite results (below) and to avoid building problems (that Ian Lynagh helped to resolve before. Thanks!). The sizes of our compressed hets binaries increased as follows: ghc-6.8.2 ghc-6.8.3 i386-Solaris 10 Mb 16 Mb i386-Darwin 7 Mb 13 Mb i386-Linux 7.2 Mb 10 Mb (i.e. compare http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/linux/daily/ with a recent http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/linux/versions/) I gave up (I'm not through) with sparc Solaris as it takes too long and gcc-4.2.2 crashed for one large .hc file from our sources (with segmentation fault). An unofficial i386-Darwin (Leopard) distribution can be found at http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/intel-mac/ghcs/ (needs libgmp.3.dylib), but use http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/GHC-6.8.3-i386.pkg if you can.
