Here you go: http://openbsd.dead-parrot.de/distfiles/ghc-6.6.1-amd64-unknown-openbsd-hc.tar.bz2 I've to admit that the ghc port for OpenBSD is a little bit weird ;-) (but not as weird as my current work on ghc-6.8 for OpenBSD) > > Actually, with headers starting to diverge, it might make more sense to > > just generate the amd64/netbsd .hc files from i386/netbsd -- where > > there's already a working ghc. > > I have ghc 6.4.1 on NetBSD 3.0 i386. That's the idea, right? If possible, start with ghc 6.6.1, even if that means to install a newer version of NetBSD. > as apparently 6.8 is known to not build from .hc files. I don't > understand `with headers starting to diverge'. Nor do I, but I guess Don meant significant differences in system libraries (between NetBSD and OpenBSD).
