Re: BeOS port
Now, compiling in the ghc folder starts correctly and I get errors about missing itimer (can I safely disable that or should I add an emulator for it?) and mmap. Will the libraries be compiled after that? Those errors are coming from the runtime system in ghc/rts. Both functions are used in fairly important spots in the runtime system: mmap is used to allocate memory for the Haskell program - the memory has to be allocated to multiples of 1MB; you'll need to find some way to do that on BeOS. The itimer is used for supporting multiple threads in Haskell code; you might get away with disabling that until you try to run multithreaded code, but something definitely needs to be done about this to get a proper BeOS port. Once you're through that, it'll compile the compiler proper in ghc/compiler, is quite likely to just work (unless there are problems with the build system). Then that compiler will be used to compile the libraries, and you'll probably encounter some more problems because of functions missing from BeOS there. I saw comments about BeOS in the code. Did someone try to port it already? No, I don't know of any attempts. I didn't even find any reference to BeOS in the sources outside config.guess/config.sub and of course ghc/rts/gmp, which is just an old version of the GNU MP library. GNU MP has probably(hopefully) been ported to BeOS. Grüße, Wolfgang ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

AIX 5.1L Build of GHC 6.2.1
Hello, Whew! This was the toughest bootstrap I've done in a long time. Thanks to help from people here, I have built a working GHC 6.2.1 for AIX5.1L. (The last GHC I could find for AIX was GHC 2.09!) Find it at: gopher://quux.org/1/devel/AIX/ghc or http://quux.org/devel/AIX/ghc for the gopher-impaired I have posted the "binary distribution" generated by the make system as well as a tarball containing my fully built source tree. There's also a info file describing how I finally made it work. Thanks very much to everyone on these two lists that provided hints along the way. I appreciate it! For the curious, this was bootstrapped from Debian on x86. It is built for PowerPC using gcc 3.3.2. Please feel free to post either or both of these on the GHC download page. (Is there someone specific I should contact about that?) These are unregisterized builds. Porting the registerized system and interpreter are beyond my expertise, and things I don't need, but maybe this will provide a start for someone else to do that. (Please note: the binary dist has uploaded to the site but my build tree is still uploading as I type this, so please give it about an hour before you try to download that, or you'll get a partial file.) -- John Goerzen Author, Foundations of Python Network Programming http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593715 ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

Hi, I am trying to build ghc 6.2.1 for AIX. I successfully bootstrapped an unregisterised ghc-inplace from an i386 Linux box today. I am now trying to build a real ghc on AIX.

Looks fine - GHCi is supposed to look in the directories in import_dirs for .hi files. What does ghci -v tell you?

Re: Registering packages
Thank you, Simon! I did not get a "wxHaskell install". wxHaskell is a zip file, not an executable or a Windows installation file. The directions at the site are clear about simply unzipping it and running the wxhaskell-register.bat file. You are absolutely right about the environment variable. The batch file expected an environment variable named WINDIR, but it did not automatically exist on my computer (it is really named SYSTEMROOT). Instead of changing the bat file, I simply added the WINDIR environment variiable and then ran the batch file. (From the command prompt: SET WINDIR=C:\WINNT) Excellent! I typed in the first example at the "quick start" at the site, and it ran just fine. I can now compile any of the samples easily and run them. I am impressed with GHC, wxWindows, and extremely grateful for your help.

Using packages in ghci
Hello, Where does ghci look for .hi files from packages? (I doesn't seem to be the same place as ghc). AFAICT it expects to find them relative to the current directory, and I can only get it to work by cding to the appropriate directory *before* invoking ghci (doing this from within ghci seems to really mess things up). But I guess this isn't what's supposed to happen because this solution will only work with one package. My package entry looks like this.. Package {name = "Data.Tree.AVL", auto = True, import_dirs = ["/home/adrian/HaskellLibs/Data.Tree.AVL/pkg"], source_dirs = [], library_dirs = ["/home/adrian/HaskellLibs/Data.Tree.AVL/pkg"], hs_libraries = ["Data.Tree.AVL"], extra_libraries = [], include_dirs = [], c_includes = [], package_deps = ["base", "Data.COrdering"], extra_ghc_opts = [], extra_cc_opts = [], extra_ld_opts = [], framework_dirs = [], extra_frameworks = []} Is there something missing here?

Is there a non-blocking version of hGetArray?
Hi, I am a happy user of hGetBufNonBlocking, but I have come to realize that mutable arrays are nicer to work with than pointers, so I have considered using hGetArray instead. I do, however, depend on the fact that the function returns as soon as it has read data -- even if less than requested --, like hGetBufNonBlocking does. Is there currently a way to achieve this? Am I right assuming that hGetBuf and hGetArray do not differ much performance-wise? One of the reasons I am curious about using mutable arrays is because of Data.Array.Base.unsafeRead, which seems to be a *lot* faster than accessing the memory through a pointer. Is there anything comparable for pointer access? Peter ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
