Hello! I have for various subtle reasons bought a MacBook Pro. It
certainly is very shiny :)
I find it somewhat reluctant in the Haskell department, though: I do not
want the lagging haskell-platform, and decided to do things from
scratch, i.e. compile ghc myself. I followed the intructions, and I
*have* compiled stuff before, so I'm not completely lost. However, after
./configure, make exits with the message
<code>

</code>
I can clearly make out the offending flag:
--with-ar="/Developer/usr/bin/ar". Having Xcode 4.3, there is no longer
any /Developer folder - but where do I tell it to use "/usr/bin/ar"
instead? Furthermore, it says "or on the
path" above, but /usr/bin *is* in PATH, at least in the environment I
have at the shell prompt (but this might be changed in some script that
make calls or whatever...)
Grateful for help.
/Fredrik, Stockholm

Have you considered using the Homebrew package manager??
Using homebrew it should ? at least in theory ? be as easy as:
$ brew update
$ brew install --devel ghc
The ?--devel? switch should choose GHC 7.4.1, as far as I remember.

Hi,
I'd like to start using Haskell on my OS/X Lion system. In
preparation I've installed 10.7.3 and the latest XCode. I've also
installed the XCode command line tools.
I'm using Homebrew and run "brew doctor" first to make sure Homebrew
is happy. Then a "brew install haskell-platform" generates thousands
of "ld: warning: text reloc in _cZh_str to _stg_ap_pppppp_info"
warnings then fails on C Compiler errors.
I must have missed something important? Any advice from other OS/X
Lion users much appreciated.
Thanks,
Stu
