Hello Brian and All, I'm curious if anyone here attempted building LambdaVM on non-GNU system. I'm using OpenSolaris/x86 and build fails with: == Recursively making `depend' for ways: '' ... PWD = /export/home/karel/vcs/lambdavm/libraries/Cabal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ case '- --no-print-directory -r' in *-[ik]*) x_on_err=0;; *-r*[ik]*) x_on_err=0;; *) x_on_err=1;; esac; \ if [ -n "" ]; then \ echo "doing the loop :-("; \ for i in ; do \ echo "------------------------------------------------------------------------"; \ echo "== gmake way=$i depend;"; \ echo "PWD = /export/home/karel/vcs/lambdavm/libraries/Cabal"; \ echo "------------------------------------------------------------------------"; \ gmake way=$i --no-print-directory - --no-print-directory -r depend ; \ if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then true; else exit $x_on_err; fi; \ done \ fi /bin/sh: syntax error at line 4: `;' unexpected gmake[2]: *** [depend] Error 2 Failed making boot in Cabal: 1 gmake[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/karel/vcs/lambdavm/libraries' gmake: *** [stage1] Error 2 karel@silence:~/vcs/lambdavm$ The only changes which I made to the build systems are following: karel@silence:~/vcs/lambdavm$ darcs w -u { hunk ./darcs-all 1 -#!/bin/sh +#!/usr/bin/bash set -e hunk ./libraries/Makefile 12 # want the Makefile.

The issue was already solved in 6.8.x branch IIRC somehow (replacing readline with different lib IIRC) 2) if [ -e $@ ], i.e. `-e' is not supported by Solaris' /bin/sh, -f works fine. My main motivation behind attempting to build it, is to give Haskell a try inside Eclipse IDE. i.e. Eclipse supports kind of Model Driven Architecture and I would like to use Haskell for models processing and transformations. Thanks! Karel
