Hi Chris,

Portfile revision 14 is in cvs and (I hope) does what you need. Let me know if you have problems.

If you have trouble, just try installing dlcompat by hand (sudo port install dlcompat) and ghc should built. But let me know if you have to resort to this so I can fix the portfile.

The ghc build is somewhat of a hairball. Thanks for helping find these bugs.

Best Wishes, Greg

Hi Greg,

Thanks very much for your help, however I am still getting exactly the same error message.

I have done a cvs update in the darwinports directly and tried to install ghc again (after a make clean). I have checked the revision number of the portfile for ghc and it says it is revision number 13.

Hope you can help further...

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi Chris,

Forget about my last message. I had accidentally introduced a bug in my last revision. I have updated the portfile; update from cvs and you should be ready to go.

(The bootstrap compiler still depends on the darwinports dlcompat library, which was not a dependency of the port. It is now. I hope to remove this constraint and use the system dlcompat when ghc 6.4 appears in a few weeks.)

Best Wishes, Greg

Hi,

I am trying to install GHC on Mac OS X (Panther) using Darwin Ports. When i run

sudo port install ghc

I get the following error message shortly into the compilation:

------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- ==fptools== make boot - --no-print-directory -r; in /Users/chrisbrown/darwinports/dports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-6.2.2/ghc/ utils/hasktags ------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- /Users/chrisbrown/darwinports/dports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-bootstrap/ bin/ghc -M -optdep-f -optdep.depend -osuf o -H16m -O -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib HaskTags.hs dyld: /Users/chrisbrown/darwinports/dports/lang/ghc/work/ghc-bootstrap/ lib/ghc-6.2.2/ghc-6.2.2 can't open library: /opt/local/lib/libdl.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) make[3]: *** [depend] Trace/BPT trap make[2]: *** [boot] Error 1 make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 make: *** [build] Error 1

I remember on Tiger this was because the portfile which tells darwin ports what to do has a condition in it to compile the bootstrap differently for panther or jaguar (and obviously not tiger).

Could anyone please help me to fix this compilation error?

Thanks,

Chris Brown.
