Hi, Here is a question about a non-standard build from a first-timer ... I am slowly making progress, in a drunken walk kind of way, building GHC 6.7.20070518 (the one from the LambdaVM tree). Whilst most of my problems can be side stepped by tweaking the configure options and my libraries, I am puzzled by the error below. Why is MutableByteArray being used? Isn't it deprecated? Its appearance does sit inside #ifdef mingw32_HOST_OS so maybe it hasn't been noticed. Mark ./configure --enable-java --build=i386-unknown-mingw32 --with-gcc=c:/software/mingw/bin/gcc --with-ld=c:/software/mingw/bin/ld.exe <snip> ../../compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -fglasgow-exts -cpp -Iinclude -"#include" HsBase.h -funbox-strict-fields -package-name base-2.0 -O -Rghc-timing -fgenerics -fgenerics -c GHC/Conc.lhs -o GHC/Conc.o -ohi GHC/Conc.hi GHC/Conc.lhs:607:43: Not in scope: type constructor or class `MutableByteArray#' GHC/Conc.lhs:609:33: Not in scope: `byteArrayContents#' GHC/Conc.lhs:611:44: Not in scope: type constructor or class `MutableByteArray#'

Since you're using LambdaVM you should probably report bugs directly to me rather than bothering GHC HQ with LambdaVM bugs. I'll let you know if it isn't my problem.
libraries, I am puzzled by the error below. Why is MutableByteArray being used? Isn't it deprecated? Its appearance does sit inside #ifdef mingw32_HOST_OS so maybe it hasn't been noticed.
Indeed it hasn't. I think there are quite a few mingw build problems lurking in the libraries. I've never actually built LambdaVM on windows. One of these days I'll get around to it. You should be able to fix it by changing MutableByteArray# RealWorld to UArray# RealWorld Word8# and byteArrayContents# to uArrayContents#. Or you could just run "make way=j" in the libraries dir if you don't plan on using the same GHC build for generating native binaries. The java build of the libraries should be fine. -Brian
