I'm trying to build unregistered 6.8.2 on NetBSD Alpha 2.1.0_STABLE -- I have the following problem which seems to be same as this one - http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1860 $ ./configure --enable-hc-boot --enable-hc-boot-unregistered checking build system type... alpha-unknown-netbsd2.1.0. checking host system type... alpha-unknown-netbsd2.1.0. checking target system type... alpha-unknown-netbsd2.1.0. Canonicalised to: alpha-unknown-netbsd checking for ghc... no checking for ghc-pkg matching ... no checking for ghc-pkg... no checking whether ghc has readline package... no checking for nhc... no checking for nhc98... no checking for hbc... no checking for ld... /usr/bin/ld checking for path to top of build tree... ./configure[3201]: -v0: not found ./configure[3203]: utils/pwd/pwd: not found configure: error: cannot determine current directory there is a temporary solution mentioned in Trac; "to link the binaries generated by the bootstrap compiler statically". How do I make my own statically linked versions of pwd, ghc-pkg and anything else involved? (I don't know anything about C.) Thanks, Jim
