My apologies for duplicates, if any. I sent it first from the wrong address
---------- Forwarded message ---------- Thanks for the info. The solution I plan to adopt is as follows. I can create a tarball of the /Library/Frameworks/GMP.framework folder on my Intel-Mac that has GHC 6.6 installed. I can ask users of my application to download said tarball and install it in /Library/Frameworks or ~/Library/Frameworks. I tested it on one Mac that didn't have GHC, and it worked. I'll try it on a few others before declaring that it does work. On a slightly related note, it appears that GHC-compiled Windows programs either don't use GMP or have it statically embedded. I ran a Windows binary of the same program on a machine that almost certainly doesn't have GMP installed and it worked. Any confirmation would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

(move a discussion to glasgow-haskell-users) Macs that don't have GHC installed don't seem to have readline-5 installed, either. Therefore we've created that GNUreadline.framework (see below). However, the binary that one wants to distribute must be linked against that framework. We do this by adding linker options to ghc: -optl-F/home/maeder/Library/Frameworks -optl-framework -optlGNUreadline We have also created a binary distribution (for powerpc, though) that uses our GNUreadline.framework. For this we've changed libraries/readline/config.mk manually: LD=/usr/bin/ld -F/home/maeder/Library/Frameworks -framework GNUreadline SRC_HC_OPTS += -optc-I/home/maeder/Library/Frameworks/GNUreadline.framework/Headers -optl-F/home/maeder/Library/Frameworks -optl-framework -optlGNUreadline SRC_HSC2HS_OPTS += -I/home/maeder/Library/Frameworks/GNUreadline.framework/Headers The binary distribution is here: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/versions/ghc-6.6-powerpc-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 We think, that such a GNUreadline.framework is more flexible and mac-like than installing readline-5 under /opt/local. The framework can reside under /System/Library/Frameworks but also under $HOME/Library/Frameworks. Maybe you could consider making such a distribution (that also doesn't need root permission) as well? The sources and the script to create the GNUreadline framework are included: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/GNUreadline-framework.zip Cheers Christian Christian Maeder schrieb: > Arjun Guha schrieb: >> Hi, >> >> I compiled a binary using GHC 6.6 on my Mac (specifically, using ghc >> --make).
