============================================================== The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 6.12.3 ============================================================== The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new patchlevel release of GHC. This release contains a number of bugfixes relative to 6.12.2, so we recommend upgrading. Release notes are here: http://darcs.haskell.org/download/docs/6.12.3/html/users_guide/release-6-12-... How to get it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The easy way is to go to the web page, which should be self-explanatory: http://darcs.haskell.org/download/download_ghc_6_12_3.html We supply binary builds in the native package format for many platforms, and the source distribution is available from the same place. Packages will appear as they are built - if the package for your system isn't available yet, please try again later. Background ~~~~~~~~~~ Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language; the current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998 and revised December 2002. GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a BSD-style open source license. A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page (see below). On-line GHC-related resources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Relevant URLs on the World-Wide Web: GHC home page http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ GHC developers' home page http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ Haskell home page http://www.haskell.org/ Supported Platforms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The list of platforms we support, and the people responsible for them, is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Contributors Ports to other platforms are possible with varying degrees of difficulty.

Hi, I've successfully compiled ghc-6.12.3 under x86 solaris. However, for the testsuite I had to add '-lz' to the threaded1 entry of config.way_flags in file testsuite/config/ghc: 'threaded1' : ['-lz', '-threaded', '-debug'], Otherwise I got many link failures of the kind: Compile failed (status 256) errors were: Undefiniertes erstmals referenziert Symbol in Datei inflate /opt/csw/lib/libbfd.a(compress.o) inflateEnd /opt/csw/lib/libbfd.a(compress.o) inflateInit_ /opt/csw/lib/libbfd.a(compress.o) inflateReset /opt/csw/lib/libbfd.a(compress.o) ld: Schwerer Fehler: Symbolreferenzierungsfehler.

See: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3756 the conclusion was we need to add something to the configure script. If you could help us out that would be great. Cheers, Simon
