#2965: GHC on OS X does not compile 64-bit
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: Axman6 | Owner: thoughtpolice
Type: feature request | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.12 branch
Component: Compiler | Version:
Keywords: 64bit | Difficulty: Unknown
Os: MacOS X | Testcase:
Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Failure: Installing GHC failed
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Changes (by jeffschwab):
* cc: j...@… (added)
* failure: None/Unknown => Installing GHC failed
Comment:
The work-around flags above are apparently no longer sufficient to install
the Haskell platform on Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.2). The error message is
that "happy" is required. Given that one cannot build happy without
Haskell, and cannot build Haskell without Happy, it seems one is
completely out of luck. MacPorts gives an error message for both happy
and ghc:
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: ghc is not yet supported on Mac
OS X 10.6.x (SnowLeopard)
I know next to nothing about either Haskell or MacPorts, but I'd be happy
to spend a weekend or two wrestling with it, if someone can point me in
the right direction.
