William,

1. Take the patches from here...

http://projects.haskell.org/ghc-iphone/downloads/patch.snowleopard/

2. Read the README.SnowLeopard file.

3. Then install according to the instructions in GHC-iPhone.pdf (which is a little old), except that you use ghc version 6.10.4 in all cases.

config-iphone.sh is created by applying the patches.

Hi,      We've been trying to install ghc-iphone, based on the 30 Apr 2010 installation and user's guide.

     Installing from source came to a screeching halt at step 5:           - "ghc-iphone.patch" and           - "ghc-iphone-simulator" and           - "config-iphone.sh"      don't exist in anything we've downloaded.

We installed everything in the source instructions, plus "ghc-iphone.tar.bz2".

This manual seems in need of a revision. I would be glad to help update it.

Tom

Tom, To answer all your questions...

It says that GHC-6.10.4 is required to build GHC-iPhone 6.10.4. Is it exactly 6.10.4, or at least 6.10.4? I just upgraded to 7.0.2. Tom

I wish. :) It has to be exactly 6.10.4.

Also, I know that this is a newbie question, but when you refer to, say, "Remove extraneous stuff from your PATH.", what exactly is the PATH? Any place where we want to have ghc-iphone from?

PATH is the shell environment variable of that name. To see what it's set to, type this: echo $PATH Basically the command you want to type is something like this: export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin That is, you need to remove any junk that's been added, like MacPorts and so on. MacPorts is 100% guaranteed to make it not work.

"cat ../ghc-iphone.patch | patch -p0" still doesn't work. There is no file "ghc-iphone.patch" among those I downloaded for this.

That instruction is a little out-of-date. The single patch has been split up into multiple patches and put into the 'patch.snowleopard' directory. So the command you will want is something like: cd ghc-6.10.4 cat ../patch.snowleopard/*.patch | patch -p1 The number after 'p' is how many directories to strip off the filenames referenced in the patch. If you're inside ghc-6.10.4 then it should be 1. Steve On 09/03/11 14:09, Tom Murphy wrote:

Also, the line "cat ../ghc-iphone.patch | patch -p0" still doesn't work. There is no file "ghc-iphone.patch" among those I downloaded for this.

Other tries which failed: "cat ../patch.snowleopard/ | patch -p0" "cat ../patch.snowleopard/*.patch | patch -p0" "cat ../patch.snowleopard/01-makefiles-general.patch | patch -p0" (for example)

Thanks for the help! Tom
