ghc-7.4 on CentOS-5.8 ?
Dear all, I need a recent ghc on a not-so-recent (?) CentOS. The ghc binary package (7.2 or 7.4) does not work because of a mismatch in the libc version. ghc-7.0 is working but when I use it to compile 7.4, it breaks with some linker error (relocation R_X86_64_PC32 ...) it also suggests "recompile with -fPIC" but I don't see how. (In this particular case, I absolutely cannot change/update the OS.) Thanks, J.W.
Hi Johannes,
ghc-7.0 is working but when I use it to compile 7.4, it breaks with some linker error (relocation R_X86_64_PC32 ...) it also suggests "recompile with -fPIC" but I don't see how.
I seem to remember that this is a problem with the old version of
GCC that's used to build the compiler. It can we avoided, though, by
disabling optimizations.
Try adding the following lines to a file called "mk/build.mk" before
running the build:
GhcLibWays = v
SRC_HC_OPTS = -H64m -O0 -fasm # -O -H64m
GhcStage1HcOpts = -O -fasm
GhcStage2HcOpts = -O0 -fasm # -O2 -fasm
GhcLibHcOpts = -O -fasm # -O2 -XGenerics
GhcHcOpts = -Rghc-timing
# GhcLibWays += p
# GhcLibWays += dyn
NoFibWays =
STRIP_CMD = :
I attached the RPM spec file that I used to build GHC 7.0.4 on
CentOS. It's quite likely that you can use it to automate the 7.4.x
build after editing some version numbers and file paths in it.
Good luck! :-)

Here's the steps I had to go go to get ghc7.0 working on RHEL 5.6: http://twdkz.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/installing-ghc-7-0-3-and-the-haskell-p... I expect that the same steps will work for ghc 7.4. I need to use a more recent version of gcc that than supplied with RHEL5.6. Tim On 27/06/2012, at 5:33 PM, Johannes Waldmann wrote:

Whether you are trying to build your own GHC compilers on CentOS 5 or just
get a working GHC, http://justhub.org/download is a good place to start as
you will be able to get a variety of compilers and platforms and the GCC and
binutils packages used to build them (installed in /usr/hs/gcc and
/usr/hs/binutils).

I need to use a more recent version of gcc
Thanks! Yes, that seems to be it. When building gcc didn't work, it took me a while to figure out that I was running into this bug: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51935 so I am using mpfr-3.0.1 (instead of 3.1.0).
