binary-dists for ghc-6.8.2

Dear all, I've built binary distributions for Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) based on (better supported) GMP and GNUreadline frameworks and for Solaris 10. http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/mac/versions/ghc-6.8.2-powerpc-apple-darwin.tar.... http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/intel-mac/versions/ghc-6.8.2-i386-apple-darwin.t... The frameworks under http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/mac_frameworks/mac_e.htm should do. The Mac binaries have been built using gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367) and a patched Linker.lhs from http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1798 (also the files compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs and utils/hsc2hs/Main.hs are patched according to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1395) The PPC binary still features: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1845 The PPC ghc can be used on Intel Macs with the additional options: -optc-arch -optcppc -opta-arch -optappc -optl-arch -optlppc (but that's slower than an i386 binary). The Intel-Mac binary has also a patched file rts/Exception.cmm for http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1980 (although I don't know if it is a Mac problem at all.) The Solaris 10 binaries have been built using gcc-4.2.2 http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/pc-solaris/versions/ghc-6.8.2-i386-unknown-solar... http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/solaris/versions/ghc-6.8.2-sparc-sun-solaris2.ta... The sparc binary was built on a "sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R" using: SRC_HC_OPTS += -optc-mcpu=ultrasparc -opta-mcpu=ultrasparc Maybe these binary-dists are somehow useful. Christian

I forgot to mention to install them using "make install-strip" after "./configure" (to strip the binaries). Christian

Are these going to be added to the main ghc-6.8.2 downloads page? Regards, Malcolm

these dists are updated now, with a proper (though stripped) file hsc2hs-bin that caused problems http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1395.

Also the file compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs is (still) patched according to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1395

Both binaries have a fix for http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1980 now. (Only the PPC dist has been rebuilt, the i386 one was only repacked) Ian, could you replace the dists on the download page? It's possible to overwrite an installation (and loose your later installed packages!), but not necessary in most cases. Still use "make install-strip" after "./configure". Christian

Ian, could you replace the dists on the download page?
Done; I assume that these dists include the new hsc2hs-bin from http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2008-January/013998.h... ? Thanks Ian

Will there be a binary release for Windows x86_64?
Unfortunately not in the near future; see this ticket for more details: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1884 Thanks Ian
