Re: [Hat] Hat bug report: hat 2.02 vs ghc 6.2

I tried building Hat 2.02-8 from sources on Debian Linux (testing) using ghc 6.2. It did not compile. I got the following error message:

Hat/Foreign/ForeignPtr.hs:89: Variable not in scope: `Foreign.ForeignPtr.foreignPtrToPtr'

Hat built OK when configured with "configure --buildwith=ghc5", though.

I don't know which patches have been applied to the Debian package. I would suggest building from CVS for the best compatibility. My nightly build uses both ghc-5.04.3 and ghc-6.2.1 and they compile just fine. The repository is at cvs.haskell.org, in module hat. Regards, Malcolm
