Problems compiling hs-plugins
Please, can anyone help me with this problem: I just downloaded hs-plugins version 1.0-rc0. (BTW, the stable version is not accessible). I configure it (according to the README) and everything seems to be ok. However when I try to build it, I get: aare: .../haskell/hs-plugins > ./Setup.lhs build Setup.lhs: Warning: The field "hs-source-dir" is deprecated, please use hs-source-dirs. Preprocessing library plugins-1.0... Building plugins-1.0... Chasing modules from: AltData.Dynamic,AltData.Typeable,Language.Hi.Binary,Language.Hi.FastMutInt,Language.Hi.FastString,Language.Hi.Parser,Language.Hi.PrimPacked,Language.Hi.Syntax,System.Eval,System.Eval.Haskell,System.Eval.Utils,System.MkTemp,System.Plugins,System.Plugins.Consts,System.Plugins.Env,System.Plugins.Load,System.Plugins.LoadTypes,System.Plugins.Make,System.Plugins.Package,System.Plugins.PackageAPI,System.Plugins.ParsePkgConfCabal,System.Plugins.Parser,System.Plugins.Process,System.Plugins.Utils [ 1 of 24] Compiling AltData.Typeable ( src/AltData/Typeable.hs, dist/build/AltData/Typeable.o ) src/AltData/Typeable.hs:452:0: parse error (possibly incorrect indentation) Looking at the source reveals that src/AltData/Typeable.hs contains macro calls to generate instances for class Typeable<N>, e.g. INSTANCE_TYPEABLE1([],listTc,"[]") However, I could not find any definition for these macros. Nor does the package docs mention what to install in order to get them. Any ideas? Don? Ben

Hi. Thanks for noticing the missing stable release. Looks like the network guys tweaked something without telling me. This will get fixed soon. This Typeable macro issue is due to the Typeable.h header, which used to be distributed with GHC. It's not distributed with the GHC head anymore -- are you using ghc 6.5? You can work around it by copying Typeable.h from the darcs repository into the include/ directory of your ghc distribution, or using ghc 6.4.x In the longer term, I'll either distribute my own Typeable.h, or actually fix the underlying problem with typeables and dynamic linking that requires this stuff in the first place. Thanks for the note. -- Don

Ah, yes. This is because I want to build hIDE. The hIDE readme suggested to use http://scannedinavian.com/~lemmih/hs-plugins, but scannedinavian seems to be dead. Anyway, in the meantime the suggestion has been fixed, it now points to http://darcs.haskell.org/~lemmih/hs-plugins which I just downloaded. So, maybe all troubles go away now.

I'll try the version above and see what I get. If it doesn't work, I'll try copying the Typeable.h file from somewhere. Many thanks! Ben
