I have gotten ghc 6.7 to compile, but
not with extra libs. I'm on linux x86, ubuntu.
Can someone suggest a download date
that worked for them, or how to fix one or more of the problems described
below?
When I build from source (this is for
august 2, unknown linux, as conal spoke well of it :) but I have tried
with several other dates in august with the same result)
I get
Linux linuxpt 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT
Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
The programs included with the Ubuntu
system are free software;
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
Which we'll further canonicalise into:
i386-unknown-linux

very weird error because when I execute
/usr/local/bin/HsColour -version it doesn't fail but outputs 1.6.
Can somebody suggest a download date
known to compile (with extralibs) for ubuntu? Or suggest a fix?
By the way I have also tried
darcs get http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc
but this dies about halfway through
(in the patch 10000s ) with libcurl error 18 or libcurl error 404 depending
on the phase of the moon.
I'm currently trying a build from darcs
checkout with get --partial. If this is the preferred way of doing a checkout
due to "crapping out halfway" issues maybe it should be said
in the readme. (to be honest I forget what the difference between a partial
darcs get and a complete get is.)
Much obliged,
thomas.

Fwd: how to get packages for HEAD snapshot

oops -- meant to cc cvs-ghc
btw, 20070802 does run and does have libs included.

Thank Stefan,
The latest mingw32 snapshot I see is 20070811. I installed it also,
and when I run ghc, it just crashes (WinXP). Happens when I run it
inside of emacs and also in a cygwin bash window.
Is that a known problem?

Upgrade GHC; Cabal should be installed but wasn't due to a bug in that
snapshot.
