-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi all,
I was wondering what the state of the art was on arranging for ghc(i) to work on OpenBSD 5.6/7-BETA (snaphots). The errors are different depending on the release, with the former stating "[...] integer-gmp [...] unhandled ELF relocation(Rel) type 10" and the latter complaining about duplicate symbols in libiconv. In my brief testing, the compiler itself works on small pieces of code, producing only warnings about unsafe string operations in the c library. I managed to find some amount of discussion about this that took place at the end of last year [1], but was unable to determine if any resolutions have since been reached. In particular, it seems to me that the error on 5.6 may be avoidable by building GHC using a pure-haskell implementation of the numeric tower (which became available some time ago [2]) instead of being backed by GHC. Of course, I know nothing of how to achieve this nor if indeed this would solve the problem. I hope that this is the correct mailing list, and that I have not offended anyone's sensibilities in writing this email. Thanks for your time and consideration, Tslil [1] http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/i386-bulk-build-failures-td240532.html [2] https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/601 PS: I have recently installed OpenBSD (long-time linux user) on an old laptop (Thinkpad T42) and let me say that OpenBSD is beyond charming. I really would like to resolve this GHC stickler so that I can become a full-time user, as it were. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUxqIQAAoJEP9/1idt89XYLfsP/3G6WmIYC4p6xNrTdODBcb5a 1wKNB99oZMv4jyql3DjCLezjE3QtjEk1nmV6iHZ0gboQ1NLOWkDoPZ4uOk6gnzn1 2V6obeDA1cM0ekMPgDUTi8ZQBL0K+ZCGAyOWdGzQJ/npYUMk8fwa0qGi9WHLpvGv xy5d5QIipixMdu2aFB19fKoza/hsexJCCBJcOZllVDton8Ztifr/aq7HHVxHt8Ip /o59nWfJ/jHa5P6QbiE9rE2Su7cd6koZzRnz99U0D3he+j2owPttY3MdZHY3VJ8z CtvoBxy+4xUvFvQzL4aCRfVumLApssBoV0AEr1sV089kmmIzMudW1u1yxu3Ww9Hm NlWHB8x5dqy+Y4udrhdWSX6hoogV4P4Rn7/bR/7+WL1/1304PZkGfH4knKCZOCKc pLfXYeyoWM/7KQg66KJHQiOCISCMofzy42x5mAdNWww+aNrSizuuowYmu1BXDoRc 92MUWg+mg6gAcGhKZhkmX2aWjIr45zjoVNPtnTMZ6MPFrTu9rMq1bPVIp9dddgtt quZQBdd5UIuXU0pXGYEVTWAyuyjOPq4z0m7ImFaxpjZ6vvzOBh26xOUi8BUklZE/ OGr31gxrkr48QtPNmGiNgcE6xQOfqEsMmlp6bB+NduvijPD4qlqtcxVMX3e5mG0W 80UEH96JZLEeJTi5PmCx =2j4P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
