Hello, all. I successfully built GHC 6.8.1 on my FreeBSD 7.0_BETA amd64 machine. I was able to bootstrap it from the GHC 6.6.1 for FreeBSD 6/amd64 which was posted to this list a while ago (and was running in FreeBSD 6 compatibility mode), as well as happy 1.15 which I compiled with that same compiler.
I did have to make a minor modification; in the configure script, the machine type needed to be changed from amd64-*-freebsd* to x86_64-*-freebsd* (the same needed to be done for happy when I compiled that earlier). The C compiler was the stock gcc 4.2 compiler. GHCi does not work, but I did not really expect that it would since it did not in 6.6.1. I do not know how useful this might be to anyone else; mine is a rather esoteric setup (I am really only even using FreeBSD 7 because FreeBSD 6 does not support my video card or SATA controller), but if people are interested in binaries, I should be able to do that. -Brian -- Brian P.
