People, please, who can advise about ghc-6.6.1 + DoCon on Mac OS ? There exists the public release of DoCon-2.09 computer algebra application, which works under ghc-6.6.1 (http://haskell.org/docon). It was tested only under Linux. I hope that it will work under Unix too. But what about Mac OS ? (`Mac' means Mackintosh ?) Can you look into the files install.txt, source/Makefile, source/docon.cabal in DoCon-2.09 and tell whether this installation is likely to work under Mac OS ? How DoCon-2.09 + ghc-6.6.1 can be ported to Mac OS ? Thank you in advance for your explanation. ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru
Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Macintosh The underlying Darwin is Unix like, so Docon might well work under MacOS. One problem may be that file names are not case sensitive on Macs.

Most haskell stuff runs under MacOS. HTH Christian

I ported DoCon 2.09 to OS X using the MacPorts infrastructure several months ago. It built fine, and I was able to run a few simple tests. I didn't check it in for some reason --- I probably just forgot. I have fixed that. DoCon is now available from MacPorts. The build depends on having ghc from MacPorts. If ghc is not installed, it will be built from source. Best Wishes, Greg
