-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK, here it is. The GHC ebuild for Gentoo Linux has been incorporated in the official package tree (search http://www.gentoo.org/index-packages.html)! This means that it is available to anyone running Gentoo, so you can now safely claim to run on that platform. While I'm at it, I have two questions: 1) Is there a package of unregisterised HC files for any version of GHC (4.08.2 preferably) downloadable anywhere? If not, does anyone have one lying around which might be made available? The ebuild is capable of attempting a bootstrap from unreg HC on platforms for which no platform-specific HC files exist. It expects a file http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/4.08.2/ghc-4.08.2-unreg-hc.tar.bz2 for that, which of course does not exist right now. I would try to build that file myself, but I'm completely out of time right now. :( 2) I read a comment somewhere (in some script or so) saying something along the lines of "once we are cross-compiling". Are there plans to make GHC able to cross-compile?

That remark was put in there by GHC hall-of-famer Will "Cat Man" Partain [hi, Will!] some ten years ago. So, holding your breath waiting for this is likely to cause serious lung damage (or worse) -- in other words, no plans for doing this. --sigbjorn

Let's do the time warp again!

Dang! I enjoyed the awe in people's faces when I told them I had built an OpenGL app for their Windows PCs without ever booting the thing. But distribution in source code is much nicer anyway. Especially if there's a great free compiler available.
