Yet strangely, the last upload was Sun Apr 19 21:42:04 UTC 2009 and
hackage claims it builds without failure with ghc-6.10.
And in fact it builds just fine for me, so maybe it is worth finding out
why it doesn't build for you. Are you using ghc-6.10.4 and the latest
version of cabal? I get:
> ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.10.4
> cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.6.2
using version 1.6.0.3 of the Cabal library
> cabal install greencard

hi,
i am stuck with a linker error in greencard, and haven't found
anything online, so i am addressing you for fresh ideas. as soon as i
get this sorted out, i will try to turn the answer into a patch that
you can consider for the next release.
SYMPTOMS: greencard 3.0.3 and 3.01 do not compile with ghc-6.8 (debian
lenny package) and 6.10 (darcs copy, checked out yesterday). here is
what happens:

the errors about no-prune-tydecls are easy enough to fix:
$ diff -r greencard-3.0.3{,-patched}
diff -r greencard-3.0.3/examples/Gdbm/Makefile
greencard-3.0.3-patched/examples/Gdbm/Makefile
28d27
< HC_OPTS += -fno-prune-tydecls
diff -r greencard-3.0.3/lib/Makefile

6c6
< GHC_OPTS = -cpp -fglasgow-exts -fno-prune-tydecls
---
GHC_OPTS = -cpp -fglasgow-exts
$
this helps, but the linker errors are unrealted, and i don't know what
to make of them. (I guess I should study how ghc generates C code at
this point? it does feel like something obvious...)
thanks,
cheers,
matthias
