I've been building the head and in my adaptation i need package net. I added this to the SRC_HC_OPTS, which made at least the haskell compile to hi/o. But when the ghc-6.5 compiler is built I get the complaint that ghc- inplace does not have this package. Funny thing is that when I omit the -package net option, it does compile. What is the cause of all this? Must I reconfigure and build? Is there something else I am missing? I can imagine that it is determined from the SRC_HC_OPTS which packages must be built for ghc-inplace, but maybe there is a different reason.
Note that I did not do a rebuild (and I would like to avoid reconfiguring and building since it takes ages on my machine). And before I do it, it would be nice to know that this solves the not overly large problem.
So, can anyone tell me?
I'm not sure I understand exactly what it is you want to do. Package "net" is an old non-hierarchical package, the new one is called "network". Do you want to use networking in GHC itself? Or something else? SRC_HC_OPTS is for options that are passed to all Haskell compilations in the tree. Cheers, Simon
