#13039: ghc 6.6.1 does not build on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: rzilibowitz@yahoo.com.au | Owner: gwright@macports.org Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.5.2 Resolution: | Keywords: GHC Leopard ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by gwright@macports.org): * status: new => assigned Comment: Status update on the ghc port: As of today, 20 Dec 07, I have successfully built 6.8.2 on Leopard (10.5.1) intel and Tiger (10.4.11) intel and ppc. New bootstrap compilers have been built and upload to haskell.org. Leopard ppc will not be supported initially, since there is not yet a successful full build of ghc on that platform (linker bugs). The remaining problem seems to be a compiler bug which causes file locking errors. This was all rewritten for the 6.8 branch so it is not surprising. The bug causes one out of every four or five ghc builds to fail, so it needs to be fixed before the 6.8.2 portfile is ready for general release. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13039#comment:11> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
