Building unregisterised for FreeBSD/amd64
Hi, I'm trying to get ghc-6.6 running on my FreeBSD/amd64 box. It seems as if the build instructions are stale again. When I run $ cd /tmp/ghc-6.6/rts && gmake boot && gmake it falls over in the RTS, as noted in the documentation. But at the next step, when the libraries are built, $ cd ../libraries $ gmake boot && gmake cabal fails to build because it requires HSrts. This aborts the library build leaving me with an incomplete set of libraries. Is there a simple way to tell the build not to make cabal? Best, Greg

I think you can simply delete Cabal from: SUBDIRS = ... of libraries/Makefile HTH Christian

Deleting Cabal from SUBDIRS=... in libraries/Makefile fixes one probelm, but then the build fails because of a later dependency on Cabal when doing $ cd ../compiler $ gmake boot stage=2 && gmake stage=2 Removing the Cabal dependency from compiler/Makefile and the associated package.conf.* files doesn't help because compiler/main/CodeOutput.lhs depends on Distribution.Package for showPackageId. Is the best course just to give up on 6.6 and go back to 6.4.2, then use 6.4.2 to bring up 6.6? It seems odd that Cabal is so deeply intertwined with the compiler that you can't build the compiler without it. Does anyone know if this is intentional or unavoidable, or did incremental hacking just get us here by accident? Best Wishes, Greg
