Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.10.1 Release Candidate 1 - feedback on Mac OS

I built from source on Mac OS and found the following issues:
- llvm , compiling with llvm (3.4.2) gives the following warnings:
- $ ghc -fllvm cubeFast.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( cubeFast.hs, cubeFast.o )
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation:
'-fno-stack-protector'
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-D

clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-fno-common'
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-U __PIC__'
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-D __PIC__'
Linking cubeFast ...
- running the resulting executable crashes (compiling without -fllvm
gives no warnings and executable works properly)
- cat bigCube.txt | ./cubeFast > /dev/null
Segmentation fault: 11
- Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.10.1:
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1-rc1/
This includes the source tarball and bindists for 64bit/32bit Linux and Windows. Binary builds for other platforms will be available shortly. (CentOS 6.5 binaries are not available at this time like they were for 7.8.x). These binaries and tarballs have an accompanying SHA256SUMS file signed by my GPG key id (0x3B58D86F).
We plan to make the 7.10.1 release sometime in February of 2015. We expect another RC to occur during January of 2015.
Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!

The two statements "unknown field build-depends" and "add package to build-depends" seem rather contradictory. How can this be fixed? Regards, Malcolm

It seems to be building a very old cpphs (1.13) with a new version of
cabal. cpphs-1.13 has a top-level build-depends statement which isn't
allowed anymore: it should now be added to the library section, which
is what the error message tries to indicate.

Only problem remaining is compiling with -fllvm and running resulting
executable
Other problems below have now been solved:
- cpphs - new version resolves problem
- cabal install vector - upgrade to gcc (Homebrew gcc 4.9.2_1) 4.9.2
solves problem
