Snow Leopard GHC

[Barney Stratford]

OK, I'm trying to get a more-recent GHC working that has that #ifdef  
that you mentioned. Specifically, 6.10.4.

I've said:
./configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin --host=x86_64-apple-darwin -- 
target=x86_64-apple-darwin --with-gmp-includes='/sw/include' --with- 
gmp-libraries='/sw/lib'
make

and it fails, saying it can't find libgmp, even though I've just told  
it where gmp is. I've copied my mk/build.mk straight from my 6.8.3  
build, and it says

ReadlineIncludePath=/sw/include
SRC_CC_OPTS += -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib
SRC_HC_OPTS += -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib
EXTRA_HSC2HS_OPTS += -I/sw/include
EXTRA_LD_OPTS += -L/sw/lib

The resulting error message is:

As you can see, it doesn't even attempt to tell gcc where to find  
libgmp.

This has the feeling of an RTM question, and if it is then I  
apologise. I've not seen anything about this in the M, though.

Cheers,
Barney.
