OK, for you and me and probably no one else in the world, I have built 6.8.2, and for a short time I have it on-line - at my ISP's site, http://www.avvanta.com/~donn/ ... append file name, which is ghc-6.8.2-netbsd-amd64.tar.bz2 Size is ca. 54 Mb. When you want to use this to build future ghc releases, you'll probably have to modify libbfd.so to get GNU ar to index one or two of the larger libraries. I believe the release itself will work fine without this mod - ld uses the same library, but I think only ar has the problem. That cost me a lot of time. The other thing that cost me some time was the gmp dist in ghc-6.6.1, which didn't fully configure for the platform. The rest was reasonably straightforward. I built 6.6.1 .hc files on OpenBSD. -- Donn Cave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
