In the last few days, I needed to do a Sun3 (68020) port of Glasgow Haskell, version 0.10. Some of you may be interested, so I am making it available by anonymous FTP, from ftp.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk, in pub/haskell/glasgow. I have *not* tested the result thoroughly. Sun3 binary distribution [in ghc-0.10-bin-sun3.tar.Z]: Everything you need to run on a Sun3. Roughly: move the files into place, fiddle the driver script, and go. Rudimentary porting kit [in the files working/*]: I built the Sun3 version from GHC-produced intermediate C (.hc) files. I have gathered up a set of the files required (ghc-0.10-hc-files.tar.Z), over and above the standard source distribution. I've also made a set of *unofficial* diffs (vs 0.10) that reflect everything I did to get it going, including GCC ``registerization'' to make it go faster. The diffs include some new documentation about porting. It should not be *too* difficult to get an unregisterized (slow) version going on any non-small Unix machine with plenty of disk space. Also, it shouldn't be too hard to get a registerized version going on any 680x0 Unix machine. If you decide to take a porting plunge, please get in touch beforehand, so that we can avoid duplicated efforts. Reminders: Glasgow Haskell, version 0.10, was released in early December, 1992. It is best supported on Sun4s, and there is a Sun4 binary distribution available, along with the complete source. Will Partain
