ghc-6.6 mac intel "binary bundle"

2006-10-13 Thread Adam Megacz
Hi, I'm grateful to whoever prepared the binary bundle for ghc-6.6 on MacOS/Intel, but the instructions for installing it are missing/wrong. In particular, "make install" doesn't do much, and the only binary in the bundle called "ghc" appears to need additional configuration options (-B), so it

Hi there, thanks very much for catching the omission of these packages. The underlying libs aren't fully supported by current Mingw installs, but I rummaged around a bit... (i.e., what I hope is the final 6.6 release has now been uploaded and is now pointed to by the downloads page.) Afraid I hav

Parallel GC

2006-10-13 Thread Chad Scherrer
IIRC, there was some work being done this past summer on parallelizing GC for SMP GHC (I think that's my current record for most acronyms in one sentence). GHC 6.6 is reported as having single-threaded GC, and I'm wondering if an unforeseen technical problem might have come up with parallelization

Compiling GHC disabling the type checker

2006-10-13 Thread Neil Mitchell
Hi, I would like to write a translator which takes a Haskell-like language to GHC compilable Haskell. This Haskell-like language is not explicitly typed, and cannot have types inferred for it (rank 2 types may exist etc), however it is known that the program will not crash with a type error. All

2006-10-13 Thread Michael Shulman
When I do `make html' in ghc6.6, haddock complains about an unrecognized option `source-modules'. It appears this option was added in the most recent haddock 0.8; perhaps ghc6.6 should check the version of haddock installed? I went ahead and installed haddock 0.8, and now the documentation gets

Hi, I would like to get ghc (version 6.6) working for our students. The machines are ATHLON-64 with Solaris 10. (SunOS 5.10 Generic_118855-19 i86pc i386 i86pc) If someone has a binary distribution of any ghc version (that is able to build ghc-6.6), please let me know. But I would also try to bu
