This uses the ghc-6.6 bootstrap so I needed to add a couple of reinplace - the GHCBIN and TOPDIR variables are quoted with " in the ghc-6.6 bootstrap tarball, but apparently not in the 6.8.2 bootstrap. This patch should work with both bootstraps though. Still not tested on PowerPC since I don't have any such machine available to me. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13407#comment:5> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS

#13407: RFE: ghc update to 6.8.1 --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: wss@cs.nott.ac.uk | Owner: gwright@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.5.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: ghc --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by gwright@macports.org): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: The ghc port has been upgraded to 6.8.2. It should work on Tiger/ppc, Tiger/intel and Leopard/intel. Leopard/ppc is not supported since there seem to be bugs in the Apple toolchain on that platform that prevent building the compiler. (If these are solved and I can get access to a machine to test on, I will add Leopard/ppc.) The delay in updating ghc is mainly due to three bugs: two file locking bugs in ghc (patched in this commit) and an OS bug that in rare circumstances would cause the build fail. The OS bug is fixed in 10.5.2; users on Leopard should update to avoid possible problems. (The symptom of the OS bug is that the linker will report that an archive file will have no table of contents, even though ghc tries to run ranlib.) Other patches ensure that the libraries link with the correct libgmp. OpenGL support is built by default. OpenAL support is disabled because of name clashes between Apple's OpenAL and the freealut library required by ghc. It should be possible to fix this eventually. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13407#comment:7> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
