[haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org: Re: [haskell-platform] #138: Haskell platform for Mac OS X depends on non-standard perl install]

[Don Stewart]

Hey guys,

HP Mac users have identified the non-standard Perl location in the GHC
installer creates an extra dependency on MacPorts. Perl is already on
the Mac, so we can use that path, and avoid pain.

We've tried to work around this in the Mac installers, but it would be
better to fix it upstream.

Comment:

 This has been reported (and fixed) on the GHC trac:
 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4183. Until GHC rolls another
 binary installer, the solution is to patch the files in the Haskell
 platform installer -- accepting the ticket to remind myself to do this
 when I cut the next installer.
