jhc dependencies for ghc-6.10.1
by Philip K.F. Hölzenspies 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Dear John, et al. I will be trying jhc out, because it sounds like a good idea for some of my number-crunching apps. I just wanted to tell you how my build with ghc-6.10.1 (out-of-the-box) went, although it's not completely fair, because I may have some things from hackage installed already. Anyhow, I followed your requirement list (binary,zlib,utf8-string) and ran into the following missing dependencies: readline fgl These were removed from ghc and extralibs, resp. You may want to list these on your installation page for 6.10 builds. Also, people may like to be pointed to this ticket (I ran into this): http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2897 Two more things that struck me: - After the installation of jhc, I just had to try it: took a clean directory fresh from the tarball, did ./configure --with-hc=jhc && make. Unfortunately: /home/holzensp/usr/bin/jhc -I./StringTable -I./cbits -I./cbits -optc-std=c99 -optc-O2 -optc-Wall StringTable/StringTable_cbits.c -c -o StringTable/StringTable_cbits.o Error: Module not found: StringTable/StringTable_cbits.c make[1]: *** [StringTable/StringTable_cbits.o] Error 1 - After the initial installation a directory appeared in my $HOME/usr/share, called jhc-0.5. It seems not all version numbers were bumped ;) Regards, Philip

compilation error of my example raytracer program
by Csaba Hruska 26 Mar '09

Hi! I've tried to compile this program: http://pastebin.com/m38177b25 and I've got this error: http://pastebin.com/m46f39bed It compiles fine with ghc. It does not use special library. The error message is not so useful for me :) Any idea? Cheers, Csaba Hruska

Compile OpenGL for jhc
by Csaba Hruska 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Hi! As OpenGL haskell binding depends only on base, it would be great to compile it with jhc. I've tried to do that, but I had some problems with preprocessor directives. It would be also great to add jhc support for OpenGL bindings build scripts. Or, it would be better to add jhc support for cabal-install. :) Is there anyone who has any idea any of this things? (for soulution)

Cabal handles this automatically for you, by hiding everything by default, and then enabling only those things explicitly listed.

ANNOUNCE: jhc 0.6.0 Haskell Compiler
by John Meacham 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hi, I am pleased to announce jhc 0.6.0, It has been a long time since an official release, so there have been a lot of changes. Jhc is an optimizing haskell compiler that focuses on creating fast and portable code. Jhc is still mainly of interest to jhc hackers and developers than the general haskell public, but it is starting to see use in embedded development with haskell so I decided to make more public announcements of major releases in the future. some links: The jhc homepage: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/ Installation Instructions: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/building.shtml The jhc manual: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/manual.html And I am happy to announce, there is now a yum repository* for jhc and my other projects (such as DrIFT), so if you use an rpm based linux distribution, you can keep up to date with jhc official releases by doing: ; rpm -i http://repetae.net/yum/repetae-repo-1.0-3.noarch.rpm ; yum install jhc A couple recent changes: jhc now comes bundled with the 'containers' and 'applicative' library making it much easier to compile many haskell programs out there. (Data.Graph, Data.IntMap, Data.IntSet, Data.Map, Data.Sequence, Data.Set, Data.Tree, Control.Applicative, Control.Arrow, Control.Category, Data.Foldable, Data.Traversable) signifigant speed and resource usage improvements in compilation time. transparent cross compilation support for creating windows programs on a unix box. (or iPhone/Nokia Tablet/etc..) If you are interested in jhc development, please sign up on the jhc mailing list here: http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/jhc John * I would love to get proper 'deb's and BSD packages built also automatically, if anyone wants to help with this, please join the list and let us know. -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
