Problems building nhc98 with ghc-5.04
Hi, when building nhc98 with ghc-5.04 I got the following error: /usr/ports/lang/nhc98/work/nhc98-1.14/script/hmake -ghc +CTS -package lang -CTS -d /usr/ports/lang/nhc98/work/nhc98-1.14/targets/ix86-FreeBSD/obj/greencard GreenCard Fail: Can't find module PrelBase in .

Anyway, this seems to be a ghc bug, since ghc is looking for PrelBase even though it is not needed for ghc-5.04.

when building nhc98 with ghc-5.04 I got the following error:
Fail: Can't find module PrelBase in . Or in standard libraries at /usr/local/lib/ghc-5.04/imports/base ... Asked for by: Decl.lhs [Check settings of -I or -P flags?]
Anyway, this seems to be a ghc bug, since ghc is looking for PrelBase even though it is not needed for ghc-5.04
The error message is generated by hmake, not by GHC, so the fault is probably in the automatic configuration of the ghc settings in hmake. I would guess that perhaps hmake has not detected ghc's version number correctly? Look in lib/ix86-OpenBSD/hmakerc, particularly for the definition cppSymbols = ["__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=504"] and edit it if necessary. (Of course, we'd really like to know why it wasn't detected in the first place.) Regards, Malcolm

The error message is generated by hmake, not by GHC, so the fault is probably in the automatic configuration of the ghc settings in hmake. I would guess that perhaps hmake has not detected ghc's version number correctly?
Look in lib/ix86-FreeBSD/hmakerc, particularly for the definition
cppSymbols = ["__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=504"]
and edit it if necessary. (Of course, we'd really like to know why it wasn't detected in the first place.)
lib/ix86-FreeBSD/hmakerc looks ok. Find it attached. Regards, Olli -- IST & IIS _ INF _ UniBwM _____ http://ist.unibw-muenchen.de/People/obraun/ Tele-Consulting GmbH _________ http://www.tele-consulting.com/ ___ obraun@ FreeBSD: The Power To Serve __ http://www.freebsd.org/ ___________________
