#15142: ghc 6.8.2 fails to build Adjustor.o (bus error, segmentation fault) on PowerPC -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: gwright@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: ghc -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:17 gwright@…]:

I was able to compile 6.10.1 on ppc/Leopard using the 6.10.1 bootstrap compiler I built for the port. This procedure should be identical to that used by revision 8 of the ghc port. (I was not able to run the port itself as I don't have root privileges on the machine I am using and don't want to install a second MacPorts.)

Yes! With gmp @4.2.4_0, ghc @6.10.1_8 builds for me on Mac OS X 10.5.5 on my Power Mac. I haven't tried Tiger PPC yet.

I wonder if some of the problems people are seeing might be Xcode related. I had success with Xcode 3.1 on OS X 10.5.5 (xnu-1228.7.58~1). The "machine" command reported "ppc7450".

I'm using Xcode 3.1.1 and "machine" here says "ppc7400". It's a Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio) 466 MHz. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15142#comment:20> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
