Hi Johannes, > ghc-7.0 is working but when I use it to compile 7.4, > it breaks with some linker error (relocation R_X86_64_PC32 ...) > it also suggests "recompile with -fPIC" but I don't see how.
I seem to remember that this is a problem with the old version of GCC that's used to build the compiler. It can we avoided, though, by disabling optimizations. Try adding the following lines to a file called "mk/build.mk" before running the build: GhcLibWays = v SRC_HC_OPTS = -H64m -O0 -fasm # -O -H64m GhcStage1HcOpts = -O -fasm GhcStage2HcOpts = -O0 -fasm # -O2 -fasm GhcLibHcOpts = -O -fasm # -O2 -XGenerics GhcHcOpts = -Rghc-timing # GhcLibWays += p # GhcLibWays += dyn NoFibWays = STRIP_CMD = : I attached the RPM spec file that I used to build GHC 7.0.4 on CentOS. It's quite likely that you can use it to automate the 7.4.x build after editing some version numbers and file paths in it. Good luck! :-) Peter
