When pulling from the repo you need DrIFT installed, the tarballs don't need it though. I can make that message more informative...
Yeah, I know, I just forgot I didn't have it installed. (I do now, of course.) I was mentioning it more because I would've expected the autoconf step to spot that it had neither DrIFT nor the generated files and therefore fail, rather than the failure happening in the build step. Not a big issue, just some polish.
The development.html page is only updated on a release from docs/development.mkd, It would probably make more sense to have it track the repository version rather than the current release. I'll see about adding a cron job to fix that up.
No worries. Again, mostly mentioned for the sake of making the build process nice, clean, and easy to follow.
I have a fix for the third issue done. will post it soon, in the meantime you can find the call to qualifyInstMethod in src/FrontEnd/Rename.hs and just replace it and the hsDecls processing for HsInstDecl with
hsDecls'<- rename hsDecls
to just do a full renaming of the declarations.

Is there any hope of getting a newer base to compile so that we can use Hackage effectively? If not, what are the impediments: technical issues, or just manpower? -- Live well, ~wren
