Hello,
I believe I have successfully got an unregisterised version of ghc 6.4.2 compiled for arm/linux.
Updates: -------
1) I turns out I only had a in-place build of ghc, I have now got a real build 'working'.
2) I have started putting my notes in the Wiki
I added a section to the end of this page:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms
And started this page:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ArmLinuxGhc
I will add the information about getting from an inplace .hc build to a normal build tomorrow.
3) It would appear that the floating point problem is still a problem. It did not cause any compile time errors. But ghc generates bogus answers, the one liner:
main = print 1.0
prints: 5.299808824e-315
If you want to get a picture of how much of your GHC build is working, it's useful to run the test suite. Check out the testsuite repository from darcs.haskell.org into your source tree, then $ cd testsuite $ make boot $ cd tests/ghc-regress then, to do a quick test run (~5 minutes): $ make stage=2 fast or a full test run (several hours, probably): $ make stage=2 Cheers, Simon
