Installing ghc-2.08 on Linux and HPUX went quite smoothly.
Two minor bugs:
* Some $'s disappeared from Perl scripts (e.g. ghc, hscpp, ...).
This has been reported earlier (incl. fix) and seems to happen
with Bash 2.01 or later (which is quite unfortunate as Bash 2.01
*is* /bin/sh on newer Linux systems). Example:
datadir=/foo/bar
instead of
$datadir=/foo/bar
* During "make binary-dist" lit2texi stumbles three times like this:
[...]
Making html documentation in ghc/docs/users_guide
../../../literate/lit2texi -c -o prof-compiler-options.itxi
prof-compiler-options.lit
lit2texi: error(s) from prefilter pipe
make[1]: *** [prof-compiler-options.itxi] Error 1
Consequently, some docs are missing later.
Snapshots at the usual place. When binary-dist is working, I'll switch
to normal Glaswegian tar files instead of snapshots.
