To compile the revision control system Darcs (http://www.darcs.net/), I need Haskell but I'm not myself a Haskell user.
My machine is an UltraSparc 10 running NetBSD 1.6.2 userland and 2.0 kernel.
There is a package source for Glasgow Haskell, so, let's try in /usr/pkgsrc:
% make ... checking build system type... sparc64-unknown-netbsd2.0. checking host system type... sparc64--netbsd checking target system type... sparc64--netbsd Unrecognised platform: sparc64--netbsd gmake: Entering directory `/usr/pkgsrc/lang/ghc/work/ghc-6.2.1/glafp-utils' ../mk/boilerplate.mk:66: ../mk/config.mk: No such file or directory You haven't run ./../configure yet. gmake: *** [../mk/config.mk] Error 1
There isn't an existing build for your platform, which means you'll have to bootstrap. Also, it looks like a small amount of porting effort will be required (the configure script hasn't recognised the platform, so at least you'll need to add a few obvious lines in there). Full porting instructions are here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.htm l Bootstrapping generally works quite smoothly, but if you run into problems we're always happy to help. Send us any patches you end up needing. Cheers, Simon
