Attempting to build with gcc 4.0 on OS X fails with the following errors. Has anyone else successfully built on OS X?
Not yet. The problem you encountered seems to be the case-insensitivity of the MacOS file system. obj/FFI.o is overwriting obj/ffi.o. But my build does not even get that far. I have a couple of different errors, earlier in the build, when first trying to compile the libffi component: make -C libffi -f ConfigAndMake.makefile ln -s libffi/config-ml.in ../config-ml.in # HACK for broken configure sh ./configure checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0 [...output of configure...] make make "AR_FLAGS=" "CC_FOR_BUILD=" "CFLAGS=-g -O2" "CXXFLAGS=" "CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD=" "CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=" "INSTALL=/usr/bin/install -c" "INSTALL_DATA=/usr/bin/install -c -m 644" "INSTALL_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/install -c" "INSTALL_SCRIPT=/usr/bin/install -c" "JC1FLAGS=" "LDFLAGS=" "LIBCFLAGS=" "LIBCFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=" "MAKE=make" "MAKEINFO=/bin/sh /Users/malcolm/Haskell/yhc-devel/src/runtime/libffi/missing --run makeinfo " "PICFLAG=" "PICFLAG_FOR_TARGET=" "RUNTESTFLAGS=" "SHELL=/bin/sh" "exec_prefix=/usr/local" "infodir=/usr/local/info" "libdir=/usr/local/lib" "prefix=/usr/local" "AR=ar" "AS=as" "CC=gcc" "CXX=g++" "LD=ld" "NM=" "RANLIB=ranlib" "DESTDIR=" all-recursive Making all in include cat: ../../gcc/BASE-VER: No such file or directory make[5]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
