Hello,
I've been trying to build GHC-6.8 on Mac OSX 10.5 using the GMP and
readline provided by macports. I'm not sure if others have been having
this problem, but I've been having a low of trouble. I finally got it
to build, but it required patching Cabal to do so.
The problem seems to be that ranlib isn't being run from the
cabal-generated makefiles after each libHS.a under libraries/ is built.
At some point the build fails when trying to link to libHShaskell98.a,
complaining about a missing index, so I ran ranlib on the library, and
the build continued. I ended up patching cabal to add a ranlib call from
the makefiles, and the build proceeded from start to finish, without
failing.
If anyone is interested in seeing the patch, I've sent it to the
Cabal-devel list:

Has anyone else using Mac OSX 10.5 had this problem?
Peter Gavin
