Hi, is there someone doing a BeOS port of GHC? If not, I would like to try it (if not too time-consuming).
What problems did you run into when porting GHC to FreeBSD or any other POSIX platform?
Mostly tiny differences in the Posix implementation. For example, missing functions in C libraries, missing types, or sometimes extra arguments to functions.
Why do you not offer .hc packages of different builds (FreeBSD and/or Linux)? I could use them as a very good starting point. Or could anyone please create a zip with those files generated from such a build?
They aren't portable. You'll need to generate your own (using config.h from the target machine) following the instructions on the building section of the manual. It should be quite possible :) -- Don
