Hello! Distribution changed to glasgow-haskell-users, because that's no additional bug. On Wed, Jul 29, 1998 at 07:05:59PM -0700, Shin-Cheng Mu wrote: > Thanks to all of you replied.

I tried on some Debian unstable somewhere between 1.3 and 2.0, also gcc 2.7.2.something. As said, on my OpenBSD box with 2.8.1, it worked w/o -monly-2-regs. > Now I've got ghc3.02 installed.

First a hello world: felix@c3po:/tmp $ echo 'main = putStrLn "hello, world"' >tst.hs felix@c3po:/tmp $ ghc -o tst tst.hs ghc: module version changed to 1; reason: no old .hi file felix@c3po:/tmp $ ./tst hello, world Then, you could really try compiling the compiler using itself. Just change WithGhcHc = ghc-2.10 to WithGhcHc = ghc in fptools/mk/config.mk.in, then rerun configure, make clean and start over (after having installed the compiler somewhere in the path, of course). (By the way, why is the version number of the ghc used for bootstrapping fixed to 2.10 in the official config.mk.in? There should always be a symlink ghc pointing to a working version of ghc in the path, shouldn't it?) > I noticed that during some stages of compiling GHC by GHC, > ghc/driver/ghc is used for the compilation rather than the > installed ghc compiler in PATH. Is it a copy of the installed > compiler? No. That is the new driver and will use the just compiled compiler proper for compiling the standard libraries. So after the first run in bootstrapping, you have the compiler proper generated by the old compiler, but the libraries are already made by the new one. > sincerely, > shin-cheng mu > Academia Sinica, Taiwan Regards, Felix.
