LGTM, although I've not needed to do any python business you do, but 
IMHO does not hurt anyway.


Thanks,
Karel

Thanks for starting the page Adam!

Trying to wire older python look unusual. ghc-HEAD should work
fine with python3.

When I tried to build ghc on an fresh OpenBSD install I had
to install the following on top:

  - pkg_add py-sphinx [optional, to get docs]
  - pkg_add libiconv

Indeed, I completely overlooked this missing in pkg_add line. Anyway, 
the configure is the correct one --with-iconv*...


Thanks for correction Sergei,

Nice to see that some people actively work on ghc on OpenBSD (and
apologies for me beeing such a slacker keeping the ghc package for
OpenBSD up to date).

FWIW, you don't have to pass the very exact package name to pkg_add,
like 'autoconf-2.69p2' or ''automake-1.15p0'. There's a relatively new
concept in pkg_tools called 'branches' (see pkg_add(1) manpage).

You just have to replace the '-' separating the stem and the version by
a '%', e.g.

pkg_add autoconf%2.69 automake%1.15

Then you'll get autoconf-2.69 and aotmake-1.15 regardless of what's the
current REVISION (aka package patchleve) ot the package.

Ciao,
Kili

Good Morning All

Thanks for the replies

@Karel
After more testing it looks like i can remove the python business.

@Sergei and @Karel
libiconv is a prerequisite of ghc and is installed automatically, do
you think this should be explicit?

@Matthias
I will have to have a read about branches and will update the wiki shortly.

Cheers
Adam

Hi Adam Steen,
I just chatted with you on
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/416, I just added so more
info for the wxallowed step to your wiki page -- hope you don't mind. I'm
gonna post something to this mailing list in a minute about the trouble
I've been having with building GHC on openBSD 6.0.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean

The more people using OpenBSD and GHC the better, please add as much
information as you think necessary.

Cheers
