Although it's not good style to simply post to a mailing list without
thoroughly browsing the its archives for a similar problem, I'll do it
anyway... >:-)
To build NHC98 1.12 with a current (= from CVS) GHC, two patches have to
be applied:
* PrelBase has gone and there are probably *very* few people out there
(if any :-) with an ancient GHC <= 2.02, so the lines which make hmake
fail can simply be nuked.
* Besides other things, -fglasgow-exts switches on the handling of implicit
paramters and the syntax %foo for linear implicit parameters. Alas, a space
is missing then in LexLow.hs.
Cheers,
S.
