When using the original nhc98 binaries I built from the included C sources, I got a build error while building ...../prelude/Binary/PutBits.gc Greencard complained about 'foreign' being an undefined: /home/bfulgham/nhc98-1.04/script/nhc98 -cpp -c +CTS -part -redefine -CTS -o /home/bfulgham/nhc98-1.04/targets/ix86-Linux/obj/prelude/Binary/PutBits.o PutBits.gc No C type decl for variable foreign in DIS: Apply (Constructor "BH") [Apply (Declare "BinHandle" (Var "bh")) [Apply (Var "foreign") [Exp "finaliseBH",Var "bh"]]] greencard-nhc98 failed on ./PutBits.gc make: *** [/home/bfulgham/nhc98-1.04/targets/ix86-Linux/obj/prelude/Binary/PutBits.o] Error 1 Comparing this directory with one in which "foreign" style functions compiled successfully, I found that the IO directory was omitted. This patch allows the build to complete successfully, though I don't know if it is the best possible fix.
