I'm just trying to get started with haskell and have been having some problems getting hmake to compile. For some reason it doesn't detect libreadline. FYI, I'm running Mac OS X.2.6

Has anyone got any ideas for where I could go from here?

Yes, after configuring, try editing the generated config file as follows: In targets/`harch`/config, change the line READLINE="" to READLINE="-DUSE_READLINE=1 -L/sw/lib/ -lreadline" then proceed to 'make' as usual.

I'll try to put some better detection code into the configure script for the next release of hmake.

Unfortunately I'm still having trouble, it seems to be picking up the library fine now, but missing the header: I am currently using the command ./configure --buildopts="-L/sw/lib/ -lreadline -I/sw/include/ -include readline/readline.h -DUSE_READLINE=1" to configure, then editing the config.cache file - I have tried the exact text you specified and also this: READLINE="-DUSE_READLINE=1 -L/sw/lib/ -lreadline -I/sw/include/ -include readline/readline.h" But still with no joy. I'm currently getting this error: gcc: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [/Users/tatd100/Desktop/project/hmake-3.08/lib/powerpc-Darwin6/MkProg] Error 1 make: *** [targets/powerpc-Darwin6/hmake-ghc] Error 2 The header file is in the directory /sw/include/readline/ Any further ideas would be appreciated.
