Hi. The problem that Ralf Hinze reported with compiling GHC version 6.0 seems to be caused by the following:
The problematic line in the source file where the parse error is reported reads (this is OpenGL/Graphics/Rendering/OpenGL/GL/Extensions.hs): foreign import CALLCONV unsafe GET_PROC_ADDRESS glXGetProcAddressARB :: CString -> IO (FunPtr a) The CPP var GET_PROC_ADDRESS is set in the Makefile in OpenGL in the line: SRC_HC_OPTS += -DCALLCONV=ccall '-DGET_PROC_ADDRESS="glXGetProcAddressARB"' The problem (that can be witnessed by calling ghc with the option -v) is that in calling the C preprocessor, the double quotes around the value of GET_PROC_ADDRESS, which are syntactically necessary, are no longer present. The problem can be fixed by quoting the double quotes once more, i.e. by saying SRC_HC_OPTS += -DCALLCONV=ccall '-DGET_PROC_ADDRESS=\"glXGetProcAddressARB\"' However, this is a change in behaviour compared to earlier versions of ghc that seems undesireable to me ... One more thing: during compilation, ghc-inplace is called with the option -Rghc-timing. I do not see it report timing-related messages, though.
