Hi,<br><br>Thanks for the bug reports, I don't have a big endian machine to test Yhc on so it's quite hard to debug the builds. I'm trying to get my department to install scons onto a Solaris SPARC machine so I can test on that.
<br><br>I have added tests for Subversion and GHC so you'll get proper error messages if the correct programs are not installed.<br><br>Can you try going into the .scons_temp subdirectory under whereever you built yhc? In there will be a collection of source code files, executables and text files holding the output. One of them will be the program which determines whether the machine is big endian. If you could run that directly from a consol and tell me what the output is that would be helpful. I have run that program standalone under Solaris and got the correct output.
<br><br>Cheers,<br>Andrew<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/10/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Isaac</b> <<a href="mailto:isaacdupree@charter.net">isaacdupree@charter.net</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
