I'm pleased make available GHC 5.02.3 binaries for OpenBSD i386. Also available is a ports tree 'port' if you want to build from source. The binary package (15M) is available from: ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/ghc-5.02.3.tgz And can be installed with (as root): pkg_add ghc-5.02.3 It can be removed with (as root): pkg_delete ghc-5.02.3 If you like building from source the ports tree 'port' that built the binary package is available from: ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/ghc-5.02.3-port.tgz To build the port you first need a GHC binary on the system. The 5.02.3 binary package can be used, or you could build 4.08.2 from .hc source and use that. There is a port to do this at the above URL. You will also need the Happy parser, which you can get from: ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/happy/happy-1.11.tgz Once you have a GHC and Happy, untar the port and as root: make && make fake At this point the compiler is built, but you must remove the old GHC before you can install the new one. So: pkg_delete ghc-4.08.2 # or whatever version of GHC you used make install This takes around 170 minutes on my P3 700. Once again, any bug reports or suggestions would be welcome.
