Hi Jens, Mark, everyone, It should be possible to remove the dependency on happy by using files that were pre-processed by happy during the build. Like in the src_prepare script of our ebuild: https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/blob/master/dev-haskell/alex/alex-3.0.2.ebuild For the Gentoo Haskell overlay we use ebuilds rather than the haskell-platform-2012.4.0.0-rc2.tar.gz file, and I used ghc 7.6.1. For compatibility with ghc 7.6.1 the async version should either be bumped to async-2.0.1.4, or the base dep can be loosened in the async-2.0.13 cabal file: sed -e 's@base >= 4.3 && < 4.7@base >= 4.3 \&\& < 5.0@' \ -e 's@base >= 4.3 && < 4.6@base >= 4.3 \&\& < 5.0@' \ -i "async.cabal" Regards, Mark _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
