OK-- I'm probably not the most qualified person to try to port GHC to
the Alpha, but my attempt begins...
To get started, I want to generate .hc files using my existing
ghc-5.00.2 installation on my i386-unknown-linux box. I tried to
follow the steps in
http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze/Programming/GHC/cp-b1-b2-all
as follows. First I create a shadow directory tree and configure:
mkdir c1 c1-obj
cd c1
lndir ../ghc-5.00.2
./configure --prefix=$PWD-obj
Second I create c1/mk/build.mk:
GhcHcOpts += -H24m -keep-hc-files-too -optc-DNO_REGS -optc-DUSE_MINIINTERPRETER
-fno-asm-mangling -funregisterised -fvia-C
GhcRtsHcOpts += -optc-DNO_REGS -optc-DUSE_MINIINTERPRETER
-fno-asm-mangling -funregisterised -fvia-C
SplitObjs = NO
Then I ran "make". It stopped in c1/ghc/rts, at:
../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -optc-O -optc-O2 -optc-fomit-frame-pointer
-optc-Wall -optc-W -optc-Wstrict-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes
-optc-Wmissing-declarations -optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return
-optc-Wbad-function-cast -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -ldl -I../includes -I. -Iparallel -O2
-optc-DNO_REGS -optc-DUSE_MINIINTERPRETER -fno-asm-mangling -funregisterised -fvia-C
-DCOMPILING_RTS -static -c Adjustor.c -o Adjustor.o
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Indeed, even running ../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace by itself, or
running c1/ghc/compiler/ghc-5.00.2 by itself, gives a seg fault.
Being unfamiliar with the build system, I would appreciate any advice
on how to debug this problem. Or has the .hc generation procedure
changed between ghc4 and ghc5?
