I've uploaded a Mac OS X installer based on the stable tree from March 2nd + the patches I committed yesterday at: http://opeongo.cas.mcmaster.ca/~wolfgang/GHC-6.4.20050302.pkg.zip This package is built with support for dynamic libraries (some human intervention was required to build it). Mac users, please start testing and send lots of feedback to me and to the list. Cheers, Wolfgang

A quick fix: sudo sh fix_install_names.sh /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.4 /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.4/ghc-6.4 ... where fix_install_names.sh is in /mk in recent GHC sources from CVS, or you can grab it separately from: http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/fptools/mk/ fix_install_names.sh?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain Cheers, Wolfgang

sudo sh fix_install_names.sh /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.4 /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.4/ghc-6.4

After doing that, it works great for me. ("Works great" = "the two test programs I chucked at it compiles and works with --make -dynamic). Awesome work, you da man Wolfgang. -- % Andre Pang : trust.in.love.to.save

I've only a remote account on a Mac. Do I have a chance to install ghc-6.4 locally as a non-root user? I've got a working ghc-6.0.1 (and I manually copied readline.dylib and include/readline into ghc's directories) Thanks Christian P.S.

Works great for me. The double-clickable icons for GHCi are great, too (I'm sure it'll help out many Mac users who have to use GHC In their first year at university ;). Thanks Wolfgang, GHC's Mac OS X support has gone from non-existent to superior in the past two-three years largely because of you! -- % Andre Pang : trust.in.love.to.save http://www.algorithm.com.au/

I second that. How much effort did take to construct the installer? Is it a process that could easily be automated? Would it, for instance, be possible to schedule the overnight generation of an installer for the HEAD branch? Regards, Stefan

Works fine for me too.

The double-clickable icons for GHCi are great,

When I double-click the icon, I get *two* Terminal windows started, one running ghci, the other just an ordinary shell. Is this intended? Regards, Malcolm

No, that's the Terminal's default behaviour of opening an empty window when it is launched, before receiving the command to "open a new terminal window and execute a command". I might be able to work around this, though, by first checking whether Terminal is already open, and using different commands based on that. Cheers, Wolfgang
