GHC Hackathon

[Andy Gill]

Here is how I compile on my (PPC) OSX.


#!/bin/bash -x
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
echo $PATH
cd /Users/andy/night
rm -Rf ghc
darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
cd ghc
chmod +x darcs-all
./darcs-all --extra get
darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/testsuite
darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/nofib
autoreconf
./configure
(cd libraries/readline ; ./configure --with-readline-includes=/opt/ 
local/include --with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib )
make
cd testsuite
make boot
cd tests/ghc-regress
make stage=2


I have a /opt/local/ version of readline, installed with darwinports.
