The .spec file (if it is the "standard" GHC spec file)
builds from Haskell source assuming that ghc is already
installed (see also the build dependency).
The spec file that comes with the ghc tar ball is not
working with the 5.00 release - partly because I was too
slow in fixing it and partly because of two bugs in the
source tar ball itself (configure is missing, ie, autoconf
was not run, and make install does not create the
%{prefix}/bin directory early enough during the install).
I am just building rpms as we speak and have attached the
revised .spec file below (which also evades the two
mentioned bugs). Note that the spec file as it is builds a
compiler without the interactive system. Search for
``GhcWithInterpreter=No'' and change it to `YES' to build an
interactive system. However, note that you *cannot* build
an interactive system with an existing 4.08 compiler. To do
this you need a compiler that links whatever it compiles
with the new 5.00 runtime system, which is why you have to
compiler 5.00 without interactive from 4.08, and then, use
this non-interactive 5.00 to produce an interactive 5.00
compiler.
However, all this is still assuming that we build from
Haskell source using an existing GHC.
For building from .hc files, there is a script in the tar
ball at
ghc-5.00/distrib/hc-build
which automates the process. More details at
http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/ghc/docs/4.08.2/building/sec-booting-from-c.html
I just found that this documentation seems to have disappeared
since the 5.00 release. I think, I am going to resurrect it
as part of the GHC Commentary.
Cheers,
Manuel

%description
Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language; the
current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998.
GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is
an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of
platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick
development. The distribution includes space and time profiling
facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various
language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign
language interfaces (C, C++, whatever).
A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,
specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references,
contact information, links to research groups) are available from the
Haskell home page at <http://www.haskell.org/>.

Profiling libraries for Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System (GHC).
They should be installed when GHC's profiling subsystem is needed.
%changelog
* Mon Apr 16 2001 Manuel Chakravarty
- revised for 5.00
- also runs autoconf automagically if no ./configure found
* Thu Jun 22 2000 Sven Panne
- removed explicit usage of hslibs/docs, it belongs to ghc/docs/set
* Sun Apr 23 2000 Manuel Chakravarty
- revised for ghc 4.07; added suggestions from Pixel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- added profiling package
* Tue Dec 7 1999 Manuel Chakravarty
- version for use from CVS
* Thu Sep 16 1999 Manuel Chakravarty
- modified for GHC 4.04, patchlevel 1 (no more 62 tuple stuff); minimises use
of patch files - instead emits a build.mk on-the-fly

- files located in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib moved to /usr/bin, /usr/lib
* Tue Jul 28 1998 Manuel Chakravarty
- original version
