Hi,
I am trying to get Haskell working on a Solaris 2.7 / Intel machine.
I would like to confess in advance that this is the first GHC
installation I've tried, and apologise if this is known / trivial - I
couldn't see solutions on the mailing list archives, READMEs, or from
more experienced help I've had.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give!
I have a full installation of Solaris 2.7 (the free dist) plus Solaris
freeware / GNU compiled on my machine:
make-3.77
gcc-2.8.1
libstdc++-2.8.1.1
bash-2.02
tcsh-6.08.00
gzip-1.2.4a
perl-5.005_03
flex-2.5.4a
autoconf-2.13
binutils-2.8.1 (not ld)
m4-1.4
tar-1.13
texinfo-3.12
bison-1.28
happy-1.6
Using the binary distribution I have an (in-place) copy of ghc-2.10.
Next I have tried to install ghc-3.02 from source.
The following problems occur both trying to compile using ghc-2, or
using hc bootstrap:
1) I remove hp2ps and hstags from the Makefile as they cause problems,
and don't seem essential to getting a basic compiler going.
2) There are directories in which I have to unlit or ugen by hand:
/usr/local/ghc-3.02/ghc/includes/*.lh
/usr/local/ghc-3.02/ghc/runtime/storage/*.lh
/usr/local/ghc-3.02/ghc/compiler/parser/*.ugen
3) Then:
==fptools== make all --no-print-directory -r;
in /usr/local/ghc-3.02/ghc/compiler
...
parser/type2context.o parser/util.o
: libhsp.a
gcc -o hsp -Iparser -I. -I../includes -O parser/printtree.o
parser/main.o libhsp.a
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
mkconstrpre libhsp.a(hsparser.tab.o)
mkcasee libhsp.a(hsparser.tab.o)
... (long list of of symbols, mostly first refd. as above)
So, I then tried 4.04 patch level 1:
1) Again, I remove hp2ps and hstags from the Makefile.
2) Compiling using ghc-2 I get the following problems:
==fptools== make all --no-print-directory -r;
in /usr/local/ghc-4.04.p1/ghc/compiler
...
ghc -cpp -fglasgow-exts -Rghc-timing -I. -IcodeGen -InativeGen -Iparser

3) Compiling using ./configure --enable-hc-boot I get these problems:
==fptools== make all --no-print-directory -r;
in /usr/local/ghc-4.04.p1.hc/ghc/compiler
...

I suspect this might have something to do with it (but I'm not sure
why it's happening):
