Hello, while trying to adapt the local bootstrap-from-scratch script that allows us to install a somewhat customized GHC onto our systems starting from nothing but an installed GCC 2.95, I noticed a bug in the documentation accompanying the GHC 6.2 release. On http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_62.html there is a note stating The source distribution needs an installed GHC 4.08.X, 5.X or 6.X to build.
As 4.08.2 is relatively easily bootstrapped using a C compiler, that is the base we start off, and thus I figured I could just jump from 4.08.2 to 6.2. Unfortunately, the compilation itself then states: :94: #error GHC >= 5.00 is required for bootstrapping GHC Annoying, that. Especially given that I *checked* if I could jump from 4.08.2 to 6.2. Doei, Arthur. (One extra stage in the bootstrapping process...) -- /\ / | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Work like you don't need the money /__\ / | A friend is someone with whom | Love like you have never been hurt / \/__ | you can dare to be yourself | Dance like there's nobody watching _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
