Re: ghc needing ghc is the biggest bug in ghc
But how does gcc compile what you call "a basic C compiler"? By using a C compiler. And GHC does something similar, it compiles "a basic Haskell compiler". And what does it need to do that? A Haskell compiler. -- Lennart Dennis Heuer wrote: Are you fully nerd How can ghc expect an installed ghc for the first build stage? What is that See how gcc does it. It creates a basic C compiler in the first stage and then compiles the further stages with that. Your strategy shows that you just don't care.

It is perfectly possible to bootstrap from .hc files, which basically is a partial compilation of the ghc sources to C. Unfortunately, these .hc files are (by necessity) machine dependent, so you are not normally encouraged to take that route. It is documented fairly well though, even so, at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting- ghc.html#sec-booting-from-hc With regards, Arthur van Leeuwen. PS: you *do* need a C compiler to bootstrap GCC... in fact, to bootstrap the GCC ADA compiler, you already need an installation of same. Do you also consider that to be a serious bug? -- /\/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Work like you don't need the money /__\ / | A friend is someone with whom | Love like you have never been hurt /\/__ | you can dare to be yourself | Dance like there's nobody watching PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
