Hello all, I've spent a day compiling ghc (5.03, checked out from CVS a few days ago) on MacOS X 10.1. The results: another unregistered build, a PowerPC implementation of createAdjustor (foreign export dynamic now works!). I needed to modify a total of six files: File: Adjustor.c Status: Locally Modified File: ClosureFlags.c Status: Locally Modified File: Main.c Status: Locally Modified File: Storage.h Status: Locally Modified File: Posix.hs Status: Locally Modified File: Socket.hsc Status: Locally Modified Most of my modifications are ugly hacks, I still need to clean them up. I would appreciate some advice on how to do that and how to submit them for inclusion. Yes, I can read the man page for diff, but are there other things I need to know when sending in a patch? Socket.hsc refused to compile because on MacOS X, sigaddset() is a macro that chokes if its parameter is a void*. I added a wrapper function in a small C header file, but that's really ugly. What's the "proper" way? And for some reason, Apple's version of gcc refused to accept the non-standard syntax used in ClosureFlags.c. My modifications in Main.c and Storage.h are closely based on those in the MacOS X compile of GHC 5.00.2. I also got a compiler panic on one of my own modules I tried to compile. I'll post that to ghc-bugs, as I somehow don't think it has to do with the PPC port. What I really need, of course, is a registered compiler... I'm even prepared to learn some Perl to do that, but for now I don't really have a clue what to do - I don't know enough about Intel/Sparc assembly language and runtime conventions to find out from the code without a few hints - can anyone give me a few pointers what the mangler is supposed to do _exactly_?
