Hi,

By reading Matthias Kilian's scripts (thank you !), I successfully builded GHC 6.12.1.

GHC 6.10.4 didn't build:

g Lexer.x gmake[2]: g: Command not found gmake[2]: [Lexer.hs] Error 127 (ignored) RTS -K2m -RTS -agc --strict Parser.y gmake[2]: RTS: Command not found gmake[2]: *** [Parser.hs] Error 127 Failed making boot in genprimopcode: 1 gmake[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 gmake: *** [stage1] Error 1

But GHC 6.8.3 did. I then built GHC 6.12.1. The only problem was that the build process doesn't find the iconv lib when it's installed in /usr/local, so the lib/include paths have to be specified when running ./configure.

I then installed Cabal 1.9 from darcs, and cabal-install, still from darcs. I used cabal to install hscolour, xmonad and xmonad-contrib, it worked perfectly.

I thought it might be good to build GHC 6.12.1 with itself just to be sure it's working fine before make a dist, but I now get the following error:

I tried to "ghc-pkg mask" Cabal-1.8.0.2, then Cabal-1.9.0, didn't change anything.

Does someone know what's going on here, and what can be done to fix it ?
