Re: patch to process 1.0.1.1

Hello, Thanks very much for this patch. I also do development on OSX 10.4.11, and was very disappointed to find out that ghc-6.10.3 didn't compile for me. I didn't really have time to spend on it then, so I just went back to using 6.10.1. Did you install GNU make manually as well? The make provided with the last XCode doesn't work for me either with ghc-6.10.3. Thank you, John

Hi Yusaku,

So your patch doesn't get lost, can I suggest you file a GHC bug report and attach your patch to that? http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReportABug

Thanks for the work in putting together a patch,

Neil

I think I had not described context or purpose of my patch in last mail. I'm going to explain the details about why the error occurs and how the patch works. before and from I sent the patch, I have inspected about them. So the detail was complicated but interesting for me, I enjoyed it.

Well, this patch seems to be useful only on the old-fashiond Mac OS X 10.4.11, because no same error is not reported from anyone, and I'm an only ghc user who uses Mac OS X 10.4.11. And ghc seemed to has quitted to support the 10.4. This implies the patch should not be applied to the repository. But if there are a few users like me, my patch and report may be useful for (him|her).
