Hi,
Due to overwhelming popular demand (well, Sven asked), darwinports
now includes a port 'lang/ghc-devel', which builds from the head of the cvs.
The default build includes support for openGL, so this is a way to get
the latest OpenGL support for ghc, which now supports almost all of version 1.5.
The ghc-devel port installs as ghc-6.3. (All of the executables have the "-6.3"
suffix, so you can install ghc and ghc-devel without conflict. You invoke the
new compiler as ghc-6.3 and the interactive environment as ghci-6.3.)
ghc-devel depends on ghc, alex and happy, so if you have none of these installed and say
sudo port install ghc-devel
you'll get a full bootstrap build of the released version of ghc, along with
builds of alex and happy (the lexer and parser generators, respectively),
followed by a build of ghc from cvs. This may take some time (about 10 hours
on an 800 MHz G4), but what would you rather have your CPU doing?
Best Wishes, Greg
