Hi all, Simon Marlow and I have been beavering away at the new build system, and it's now reached the point where validate finishes on all the platforms we've tried it on.
There is still a lot to do, e.g. there is no "install" target currently, but this would be a good time for anyone interested to take a look at the direction we're headed in, give it a try, and raise any concerns you might have. A description of the idioms used in the build system is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/BuildSystem/New and you can download a snapshot of the darcs repos here: http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-new-build-system-2009-01-19-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2 These are the unexpected results I'm seeing in my validate runs: linux: ghcpkg05(normal) OS X: ghcpkg05(normal) hpc_ghc_ghci(normal) cygwin: ghcpkg05(normal) 2566(normal) msys: ghcpkg05(normal) 2566(normal) break017(ghci) Thanks Ian _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
