Compiling some libraries whilst making target "all" fails
because sometimes
"ghc" is used instead of "../../ghc/driver/ghc".
If there's already some old, buggy ghc in the PATH, this one
is used and so
compilation fails.
Can you be more specific? i.e. where exactly in the tree are you
The -ansi switch doesn't take effect on preprocessing -- the
preprocessor is still being called with -traditional:
Yep, the -ansi switch basically doesn't work. The RTS isn't ANSI C - it
uses some GCC extensions. And we have to call the preprocessor with
-traditional to preprocess Haskell
I'm writing a program which does
import Socket
but not
import SocketPrim
GHC complains that the type constructor Socket isn't in scope.
Indeed, in Socket.lhs from GHC 4.04.19990916 I see that Socket isn't
exported, even though a function listenOn :: PortID - IO Socket is.
When I say
While I'm on the subject of shared libraries,why is it that the Win32
distribution of GHC includes the RTS, Prelude, and perhaps other
libraries, as DLL's, but (as far as I can tell) none of the
distributions
for Unix-like platforms include any of these as shared libraries? Is
there some
You must think I'm making a terrible nuisance of myself. Please tell
me to go away and real manuals if I'm being annoying or clueless.
Anyway, I have another problem, with RegexString this time.
I was trying to use mkRegex and matchRegex and I get this error:
Fail: Ix{Int}.index:
Whenever I try to compile anything non-trivial, for example green-card, I
get lots of complaints from the linker about missing symbols. It looks as if
this is due to some flakey handling in the latest version of supposedly inlined
functions. Example - the symbol
When compiling a module A, contained in a file called F,
GHC produces
A.hi
F.o
Notice that there is no F.hi. (Or, in your case, 1.hi.)
You should have got an error message saying that Main.main isn't in
scope (main is reqd in module Main). This is what happens when

No doubt you're quite tired of seeing my mails by now, but here, have
another one :-).
I now have a couple of problems which look like they can be summarised
as `race
