Re: [Fink-devel] Giving up on ghc

  (CC to everyone who gave me feedback on my last attempt at ghc)

  Thanks to everyone who tried building my previous attempt at ghc.
  Based on the problems people found there, there's now a ghc-tiger.info in
my experimental[1].  I would appreciate it if people could give it a try.

thanks,
crh

Re: [Fink-devel] Giving up on ghc

2005-07-28 Thread Corey Halpin 
  Good morning.
  I have a version of ghc in my experimental that works for me on Panther.
  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/experimental/crhalpin/

  I don't have access to a tiger box, so I can't test it there.

  If I could get someone else to verify that it works for them on panther,
I'll push it to unstable.  To do this verification,
  - download ghc.info, ghc.patch, darcs.info, darcs.patch and put them in
your /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo
  - fink install ghc 2>&1 | tee ghc.log
  if this fails, please mail me the ghc.log
  - fink install darcs 2>&1 | tee darcs.log
  if this fails, please mail me darcs.log
  - if nothing fails, celebrate.  :-)  Then mail me to let me know.

  If it actually works unmodified on Tiger, that'd be -really- neat.  But I
don't think it will.

regards,
crh

  I'll see what I can do.

  I use darcs too much to give up -that- easily.  :-)

[Fink-devel] Giving up on ghc

2005-06-26 Thread Matthias Neeracher 

{Cc to everybody who has reported that ghc no longer builds]

I'm afraid I find myself unable to get the ghc package to run again  
after trying for more than a week (why do supposedly "clean"  
languages always have such dirty builds?), so I've retired it from CVS.


I've left my abortive attempt at a 6.4 in my experimental directory.  
Anybody who would like to get it to work is welcome to try.


Presumably the darcs package should be retired, too, as it needs ghc  
to build.
