The Good News
-------------
I've tried GHC for IRIX 6.2 on my IRIX 5.3 machine and all seems well
so far, hurrah! (Thanks go to Fuad Abdallah for pointing this
possibility out and the work I know he did in helping to bring GHC
2.xx to IRIX.)
The version I used was obtained at:
ftp://ftp.dcs.gla.ac.uk/pub/haskell/glasgow/working/ghc-2.05-prof-mips-sgi-irix6.2.tar.gz
The Bad News
------------
GHC fails on the following script:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
import qualified Prelude
main :: Prelude.IO ()
main = Prelude.print Prelude.True
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
importPrel.hs:3: Type constructor or class not in scope: `()'
Compilation had errors
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Thanks again to Fuad and those who helped put the IRIX 6.2 version
together, it's been a long time coming but I finally have access to a
GHC for Haskell 1.3/1.4 and it's worth the wait!
Graeme.
