Hi,
I've finished a port of GHC 4.08.2 to OpenBSD i386.
The binary package (12M) can be ftp'd from:
ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/ghc-4.08.2.tgz
This can be installed with the command (as root):
pkg_add ghc-4.08.2.tgz
You can remove the package with:
pkg_delete ghc-4.08.2.tgz
If you want to see how the package was built, or just like building
from source, an OpenBSD ports system "port" (6k) is also available:
ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/ghc-4.08.2-port.tgz
Making sure you have a reasonably recent OpenBSD ports tree on the
system, download the port to a convenient place (with >150M free)
and:
tar xvzf ghc-4.08.2-port.tgz
cd ghc
then, as root:
make && make install
This should pull the sources from the Haskell site, build the binary
package and then install it. It takes around 4 hours on my P3 700
machine. You can uninstall this with pkg_delete, as above. Note that
you will need both bzip2 and gmake to do the build.
The port was built using the 2.9 branch of the ports tree so
feedback from 3.0 or current ports tree users would be welcome.
Send any bugs or suggestions to me at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
I will work on getting 5.02.2 and 5.03 built and out soon.
Thanks,
Don
