Registerised x86_64 port: test version available
I've put up an x86_64/Linux registerised build for testing here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.4-x86_64-unknown-linux .tar.bz2 This is a binary distribution: ./configure && make -k install. The -k is necessary because it doesn't have all the docs. It was built on Fedora FC3. Note it claims version 6.4, but actually it's 6.4.20050308. Still no GHCi, no foreign export dynamic, no native code gen. But it seems to work (this is a stage 3 build). Enjoy! Simon

For someone with an amd64 and some spare time: So the burning question is: do all those extra registers help? Does Haskell code run faster in 64bit mode or 32bit mode? Performance graphs on a postcard to the usual address... Duncan

Thank you very much.

darcs compiles fine :-))

Hope we'll see the rest soon ;-) Sincerely, Gour -- Registered Linux User | #278493 GPG Public Key | 8C44EDCD
Hi Simon, this is just to let you know that I successfully compiled the lastest snapshot (ghc-6.4.20050308). Initial tests look promising. Thanks! Cheers, Ralf PS: Just curious: is the gcc route easier than the NCG? To me it seems much more fragile.
