Yes, I can compile that program "test.c" with gcc -c test.c Just to test, without darcs-pulling anything, I re-ran scons on yhc, and it worked to a greater extent than before (then erroring with: /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lffi ) There must have been something temporary affecting that (my computer was rebooted in between). After darcs pull, scons errored: scons: warning: Ignoring missing SConscript 'src/packages/yhc-base-1.0/YHC/Runtime/SConscript' File "src/packages/yhc-base-1.0/YHC/SConscript", line 9, in ?

Hi Isaac,
can you build any program using ffi.h? e.g.
--- test.c ------------
#include
int main(){ return 0; }
-----------------------
gcc -c test.c
cheers

Trying scons on a freshly darcs'd yhc from today, I got an error, see: http://paste.lisp.org/display/22129 or, to include the relevant parts of the output here:

On IRC, ndm suggested that "libffi" was needed; after "emerge libffi" the error still happened -- so, me being on gentoo-linux ppc, ndm on Windows, referred me to this list. I'm trying to find out what is actually needed to successfully compile Yhc (now, for me, at least). _______________________________________________ Yhc mailing list Yhc@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org//mailman/listinfo/yhc
