Hi Sven,
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.
You didn't provide an example of why a current GHC fails on these lines, but I suppose it is indeed unlikely that anyone has a GHC <= 2.02.
* 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.
An easier fix is just to remove -fglasgow-exts from the Makefile! Regards, Malcolm
