Hi,

does anyone here have experience what it takes to build ghc-6.12.3 from source on Open Solaris, with binary ghc-6.12.1 installed?

Have you tried following the generic building instructions at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/QuickStart ? i.e.: unpack the source, and then run: ,---- | $ ./configure | $ make | $ make install `---- (if you want to install it somewhere non-standard, then check the ./configure options). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Hi,

does anyone here have experience what it takes to build ghc-6.12.3 from source on Open Solaris, with binary ghc-6.12.1 installed?

This isn't specific to Open Solaris, but it's where I would start: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Solaris See also: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms#Tier2platforms Jason
