Building 2.08 on Alpha Digital Unix notes

Hi, I just finished building ghc 2.08 from source with ghc 0.29 on an Alpha with Digital UNIX V3.2C. Here are some notes for who is interested: Not Happy State errors (Changed "newtype HappyState" to "data HappyState"): ghc/compiler/rename/ParseType.hs ghc/compiler/rename/ParseUnfolding.hs ghc/

rem 1 0::Integer report

In ghc-2.08-linux main = putStr (show (rem 1 0::Integer)) reports "Floating exception" which is rather dim for the user. changing to Int improves it: "Fail: Integral.Int.rem{PreludeCore}: divide by 0" -- Sergey Mechveliani [EMAIL PROTECTED]
