Hello all Hugs'ers, As a well-behaved boy, I try to prepare for the Hac07 event by, among other things, installing Hugs. I follow the directions on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs for getting and building a development version, cvs for hugs98, darcs for the libraries etc. All this happens on a PPC Mac OS X 10.4 with a ghc-6.4.1 installed from binary. Unfortunately, I am now stuck in the "make". Initially, I got the messages ... configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating include/HsBaseConfig.h find: -wholename: unknown expression primary find: -wholename: unknown expression primary find: -wholename: unknown expression primary ERROR: unable to locate Prelude along new path: "libraries/bootlib" - ignoring it. ERROR: unable to locate Prelude along new path: "libraries/bootlib" - ignoring it. ERROR: unable to locate Prelude along new path: "libraries/bootlib" - ignoring it. ERROR: unable to locate Prelude along new path: "libraries/bootlib" - ignoring it. ERROR: unable to locate Prelude along new path: "libraries/bootlib" - ignoring it.

ERROR: unable to locate Prelude along new path: "libraries/bootlib" - ignoring it. echo timestamp for bootlib >bootlib/.stamp cd ../cpphs; HUGSFLAGS=-P../libraries/bootlib HUGSDIR=../hugsdir ../src/runhugs -98 Setup.hs configure --verbose --hugs --prefix='/usr/local' --scratchdir='../hugsdir/packages/cpphs' --with-compiler=../src/ffihugs ERROR: unable to locate Prelude along new path: "../libraries/bootlib" - ignoring it. make[1]: *** [../hugsdir/programs/cpphs/Main.hs] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 and those "find: -wholename: unknown expression primary" messages made me a bit concerned: I investigated "man find" and found that the OS X 10.4 find does not have a -wholename option. Has this been tried before, i.e. boot-strapping hugs98 on a Mac OS X 10.4? In any case, on a Linux machine, "man find" says that -path is the same as -wholename, so I replaced -wholename by -path in "hugs98/libraries/tools/make_bootlib" (which is the only place I found -wholename) and tried again. And this time, I am stuck with the messages ... echo timestamp for bootlib >bootlib/.stamp cd ../cpphs; HUGSFLAGS=-P../libraries/bootlib HUGSDIR=../hugsdir ../src/runhugs -98 Setup.hs configure --verbose --hugs --prefix='/usr/local' --scratchdir='../hugsdir/packages/cpphs' --with-compiler=../src/ffihugs Configuring cpphs-1.3... configure: looking for package tool: hugs near compiler in ../src configure: found package tool in ../src/hugs configure: Using install prefix: /usr/local configure: Binaries installed in: /usr/local/bin configure: Libraries installed in: /usr/local/lib/hugs/packages/cpphs configure: Private binaries installed in: /usr/local/libexec configure: Data files installed in: /usr/local/share/cpphs-1.3 configure: Using compiler: ../src/ffihugs configure: Compiler flavor: Hugs configure: Compiler version: configure: Using package tool: ../src/hugs configure: Using ar found on system at: /usr/bin/ar configure: No haddock found configure: Using ld found on system at: /usr/bin/ld configure: No pfesetup found configure: Using ranlib found on system at: /usr/bin/ranlib configure: Using runghc found on system at: /usr/local/bin/runghc configure: No runhugs found configure: Using tar found on system at: /usr/bin/tar configure: Using happy: /usr/local/bin/happy configure: Using alex: /usr/local/bin/alex configure: Using hsc2hs: /usr/local/bin/hsc2hs configure: No c2hs found configure: No cpphs found configure: No greencard found cd ../cpphs; HUGSFLAGS=-P../libraries/bootlib HUGSDIR=../hugsdir ../src/runhugs -98 Setup.hs build --verbose Preprocessing library cpphs-1.3...

Stop. make: *** [all] Error 2 With my limited capacity, I have not managed to find a way around this obstacle. Your help to overcome this would be most welcome. I hope that I am not wasting your time. I will gladly supply additional information. And one last piece of information: I never tried to install Hugs from some binary distribution, that could very well work. Best regards Thorkil
