Hi. I noticed that in Debian/KFreeBSD the module ByteCodeLink is not available, which cause the build error of haskell-hint in Debian's buildds. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564136 This is also the case of alpha, armel, hppa, mips, powerpc and s390. I haven't checked if these are the architectures without GHCi but I suspect they are. Is the full ghc API available only in arches in which GHCi is available? Greetings. -- marcot http://marcot.iaaeee.org/
The byte code interpreter (which hlint uses) has its own dynamic
linker to load binaries. I suppose the platforms that you listed this
is not supported and GHCi (or more precisely the part of GHCi that
requires the byte code interpreter) is not built. Specifically, the
following modules are not built:
DsMeta
TcSplice
Convert
ByteCodeAsm
ByteCodeFFI
ByteCodeGen
ByteCodeInstr
ByteCodeItbls
ByteCodeLink
Debugger
LibFFI
Linker
ObjLink
RtClosureInspect
I wonder whether TemplateHaskell is supported on those platforms,
since that uses the interpreter, AFAIK.

Thanks for your answer. If you're interested, I've changed hlint in Debian to be built only in i386, amd64 and sparc. Greetings. (...) -- marcot http://marcot.iaaeee.org/

It may be that GHCi would work on some of those other architectures, as long as they use ELF. Cheers, Simon
