Folks Quite a few of you are using GHC on MacOS -- for example, there were lots of Macs at the GHC Hackathon earlier this month. However, we don't have access to a machine running MacOS, so it's pretty difficult for us to deal with bug reports. So this message is to ask: a) Can anyone give us remote access to a Mac? b) Does anyone feel able to help look after GHC's Mac port? Simon, Simon, and Ian
Hello, Nobody seems to have reacted on this. I own a Mac that I don't use particularly much. It seems within reach that I could use it to assist you with both of your questions. As a side effect of having great fun myself, of course. There are several obstacles that need to be removed, however, but I will initiate that and see where it leads.

Thanks -- in fact we've had a few helpful offers of access (which is v helpful). We may still yet take you up, but meanwhile don't do too much work. So far, no one has offered to help investigate/fix GHC on MacOS, so progress may be slow. We'd love to hear from keen MacOS users who are willing to roll their sleeves up!

Hello, Let me make that offer, then, that I would like to help investigate and fix GHC on MacOS. The obstacles that I have mentioned earlier are ones that I would eventually have removed in any case, so don't worry, I will not be wasting any time.

Simon, I would like to help, but my time is limited and my knowledge of GHC internals is nearly non-existent. I am, however, very interested in seeing GHC run on Mac Intel. I particularly want to see the full STM mechanism, including "check", running on the Mac. Are there small pieces of this problem that I could help with? -Rod On Oct 2, 2006, at 11:23 AM, Thorkil Naur wrote:

I won't have an Intel mac for another 30 days or so. I intend to do whatever it takes to get a working ghc 6.6 on that platform. Is no one working on this port? It seems to me that this should be a very simple port ( as simple as GHC ports get... ). I am surprised it isn't done yet. On Oct 2, 2006, at 11:31 AM, Rodney D Price wrote:

I'm also willing to try to help investigate/fix problems with GHC on OS X/i386. /Björn On 2 okt 2006, at 09.31, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

I could set you up with an account on my laptop, it's mostly connected to the Internet, but sometimes I take it with me. If you don't get any other offers, tell me. It's x86 MacBook. -- Lennart On Sep 28, 2006, at 06:01 , Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:
