-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
I started here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building . Then
I followed the link to "Getting the sources" and read the "Source
distributions" section of this page:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources , then
followed the link to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download.html and then
downloaded a tarball named
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/dist/ghc-6.11.20090617-src.tar.bz2
. This tarball doesn't have all the ingredients necessary to follow the
instructions on the first page (wiki/Building). Some kind passerby took
pity on me and directed me to download this tarball instead:
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-HEAD-2009-05-16-ghc-corelibs-
testsuite.tar.bz2 . That one worked better. Perhaps the "Source
distributions" section of
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources should
point to that one instead.
