How do I get the latest 6.12 source and cherry-pick selected patches from the trunk, e.g. Simon's GC fixes? The wiki says that you get the head with darcs get --lazy http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc and the 6.12 with darcs get --lazy http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.12/ghc Since the trunk is big enough, I wonder if 6.12 a subset of it and can be obtained from it? The tags are not informative. If I get the branch, how will I be able to get the patches from the head, once they're separate repos? -- Alexy

An attempt to build the trunk gets me this: /opt/portage/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../x86_64- pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: rts/dist/build/RtsStartup.dyn_o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `StgRun' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC -- I use prefix portage on a CentOS box, admittedly a non-standard setup. Its gcc is found first and it wants -fPIC... Should I just add it to CFLAGS or what? -- Alexy

I don't know the answer to your questions, but just wanted to note that you will probably get a better response on the glasgow-haskell-users mailing list. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.2/html/users_guide/mailing-lists-GHC.ht... -Brent On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 08:56:09PM -0700, braver wrote:
