gtk2hs packages currently do not have up-to-date versions in unstable for amd64 because of a very small issue: they attempt to force the usage of gcc-4.1 which will not work with GHC 6.8 on amd64. I have successfully modified the rules file to use gcc-4.2 or 4.3 instead, and compiled my own packages. I have not detected any ill effects while developing with these gtk2hs packages.
There is a comment to the effect that "split-objs" doesn't work on gcc-4.2 -- I've been assured that comment is now out of date. I propose a minor change: - # Do not use gcc-4.2 until it works: - # Use gcc-4.1 until ghc/split-obj/gcc-4.2 work togehter - configure_flags += --with-hcflags="-O -pgmc gcc-4.1" + configure_flags += --with-hcflags="-O -pgmc gcc-4.2" or gcc-4.3. I would prefer not to NMU this if either of you have the time to make a proper upload. However, if not, I will probably go ahead and do so next week. This simple change would fix two high priority bugs: #463290, #461422. -- -- Matthew Danish -- user: mrd domain: cmu.edu -- OpenPGP public key: C24B6010 on keyring.debian.org _______________________________________________ debian-haskell mailing list [email protected] http://urchin.earth.li/mailman/listinfo/debian-haskell
