RE: Traditional bogus warnings
| I know that those warnings below are longstanding buglets, but would | it be possible to remove them before the release of 4.07? I had a | medium-quick look at the desugarer/type checker, but with no real | success. I'd love to fix them too, but it's all in a couple of modules written by a research student, Juan Quintela. Like any mass of new code, it's hard to get to grips with, and I never have.In short, we are no better equipped to fix this one than anyone else. I'd love to see it fixed, but other things have always come higher up the wish list. A good thing for a long flight, perhaps. Bottom line: I agree it is annoying, but I don't really want to commit to fixing it for 4.07 unless someone volunteers Simon

When compiling ghc-4.06 I get this error message: ../driver/ghc-inplace -I../includes -I. -Iparallel -optc-Wall -optc-W -optc-Wstrict-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-declarations -optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return -optc-Wpointer-arith -optc-Wbad-function-cast -O2 -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -static-c PrimOps.hc -o PrimOps.o -osuf o PrimOps.hc:581: fixed or forbidden register was spilled. This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm statements or clauses. gmake[2]: *** [PrimOps.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 1 gmake: *** [all] Error 1 Does sb have a hint, what to do? Is this on an HP box, by any chance? I get the same error when compiling on HP/UX, in a couple of functions that deal with long longs in PrimOps.hc. At the moment I just #ifdef out these two functions (integerToInt64 and integerToWord64 I think) on HP. Cheers, Simon
ghc build on HP-UX
Hmm. I would guess that your gcc is using the native HP/UX assembler and not GNU as, so it doesn't understand the .file directive. If you sent us the output of make EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-optc-v we could check that hypothesis. However ... Here it is, hope it helps: ==fptools== gmake all --no-print-directory -r; in /usr1/users/mann/src/fptools/ghc/rts gmake -C gmp MAKEFLAGS= cd mpn; gmake "CC=gcc -O2" "CFLAGS=-O" "XCFLAGS=" libmpn.a gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr1/users/mann/src/fptools/ghc/rts/gmp/mpn' gmake[4]: `libmpn.a' is up to date. gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr1/users/mann/src/fptools/ghc/rts/gmp/mpn' cd mpz; gmake "CC=gcc -O2" "CFLAGS=-O" "XCFLAGS=" libmpz.a gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr1/users/mann/src/fptools/ghc/rts/gmp/mpz' gmake[4]: `libmpz.a' is up to date. gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr1/users/mann/src/fptools/ghc/rts/gmp/mpz' ../driver/ghc-inplace -I../includes -I. -Iparallel -optc-Wall -optc-W -optc-Wstrict-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-declarations -optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return -optc-Wpointer-arith -optc-Wbad-function-cast -O2 -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -static -optc-v -O2 -optc-fomit-frame-pointer-c universal_call_c.S -o universal_call_c.o as: "universal_call_c.S", line 16: error 1052: Directive name not recognized - FILE as: warning 31: Empty source file(s) gmake[2]: *** [universal_call_c.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 1 gmake: *** [all] Error 1 You don't need universal_call_C.o to build GHC anyway, so a quick hack might be to put a giant #if 0 ... #endif around the entire file.

cygwin32 compile
Greetings- I'm attempting to compile ghc 4.06 (I need the FFI stuff) under Windows NT cygwin32. The compile fails in the compiler directory with this: /usr/local/bin/ghc -cpp -fglasgow-exts -Rghc-timing -I. -IcodeGen -InativeGen -Iparser -iutils:basicTypes:types:hsSyn:prelude:rename:typecheck:deSugar:coreSyn:specialise:simplCore:stranal:stgSyn:simplStg:codeGen:absCSyn:main:profiling:parser:usageSP:cprAnalysis:nativeGen -recomp -fvia-C -c utils/Argv.lhs -o utils/Argv.o -osuf o HsVersions.h:148: Could not find valid interface file `FastString' Compilation had errors make: *** [utils/Argv.o] Error 1 Thanks- Brett Letner
Re: cygwin32 compile
4.06 doesn't compile under Cygwin. 4.07 (out RSN) will. In the meantime, the newest version is 4.05 (binaries only, I think). -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | plagiarism, n. the mind burgles

No ghc/configure file?
Summary: I'm trying to build GHC, but cannot find fptools/ghc/configure I need to use the most recent version of GHC, so have followed the CVS checkout instructions on: http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/ghc/cvs-cheat-sheet.html This gives me a top-level fptools directory, with no ./configure file, though the README says that ./configure is the first step. But upon reading the Makefile, I found I could generate ./configure by: make -f Makefile.config ./configure Done. But then ./configure stops with: configuring in ghc running /bin/sh ./configure --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=. ./configure: ./configure: No such file or directory configure: error: ./configure failed for ghc How do I fix this (or generate ghc/configure)? (I assume this is necessary, because trying a 'make boot' or 'make' command in the fptools directory gives the error: ... make: *** docbook: No such file or directory. Stop. make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 make: *** [boot] Error 1 ) This is on a Redhat 6.2 Linux box, Pentium III 500Mhz... Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks. Mark.
