I installed GHC 5.04.2 from binaries on my machine (running Mac OS 10.2.1 and gcc 3.1) and proceeded to try to build the latest version of GHC from cvs, resulting in the following error message: [lots of stuff snipped] -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ==fptools== make all - --no-print-directory -r; in /Users/krc/Work/fptools/green-card/lib/hugs -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- gcc -fPIC -shared -I . -DSTRICT -o StdDIS.so StdDIS.c gcc: unrecognized option `-shared' ld: Undefined symbols: _main make[3]: *** [StdDIS.so] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make: *** [build] Error 1
Any idea what's up?
Looks like you're trying to build green-card, which isn't part of a standard GHC build. Try removing fptools/green-card (unless you have a good reason to want it, in which case try contacting the green-card folks). Cheers, Simon
