Thus I want to save other Solaris x86 users from that by contributing a Solaris x86 binary package for the ghc web page. How should I proceed? Should I open a ticket at the homepage for that? What should I consider? Is 'make binary-dist' the right target?
you need to build the whole tree (using "gmake") with a file mk/build.mk that just contains the lines: BIN_DIST=1 Project=Ghc When this succeeds then you can do: gmake binary-dist BINDIST_DOC_WAYS=html (which avoids failing due to missing tools for producing ps documentation)
I guess, because 6.4.3 includes some fixes, it make sense to do the packaging for that version instead of 6.4.2.
yes, but may be wait until the threaded rts works
If no one packages for Solaris sparc, I could do that, too.
I've done that already: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets...
[1] with non-threaded rts
Yes, that's a problem currently (see the bugs mailing list) Cheers Christian
