gcc version for GHC 6.10.4 under Sparc/Solaris
Hi Ian, could you add a note on the download page that GCC version 4.3.x is not suited for: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.4/maeder/ghc-6.10.4-sparc-sun-solaris2.... The binary-dist was compiled using gcc-4.2.2 (but also works i.e. for gcc-3.4.4) page http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Solaris says: "GCC version 4.1.2 is recommended" and "GHC has not yet been updated to understand the assembly output of GCC version 4.3.x." Maybe a ticket should be opened for gcc-4.3.x under Sparc/Solaris Did anyway use gcc-4.3.x under x86 Solaris? (I don't think, it'll have the same problem.) Cheers Christian

I should also note that there is a GHC 6.10.4 binary for Sparc/Linux that is now included with Gentoo. It's got all features turned on except for split objects (which fails due to mixing ld -r and --relax flags). In particular it's a registerised via-C build with ghci, TH and profiling working. It's a distro package not a generic relocatable GHC binary tarball so there's no point putting it on the ghc download page, but it's there nevertheless if people want it (look for the gentoo ghc ebuild).

Does compiling using gcc-4.3.x work if -fvia-C is added?

I've found http://packages.gentoo.org/package/dev-lang/ghc Where are ebuilds or downloadable binaries? Cheers Christian

There's no Sparc NCG in the 6.10 series so it's only -fvia-C. The new Sparc NCG is in 6.12. This build used gcc-4.1.2 which is the latest stable one on Gentoo for sparc.

For non-gentoo users, the ebuilds are available from cvs: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/ghc/ eg 6.10.4: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/ghc/ghc-6.10.4.ebui... The binaries are not set up for separate distribution but if you inspect the ebuild you find: mirror://gentoo/ghc-bin-${PV}-sparc.tbz2 which means ghc-bin-6.10.4-sparc.tbz2 in the distfiles of any gentoo mirror, eg: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/ghc-bin-... It expects to unpack to / and installs under /usr however it's quite possible to unpack to a temp dir and relocate the scripts and package.conf using a bit of sed. In fact this is what the ebuild does for the bootstrapping binary. Duncan
