Comment(by Syzygies):

 A word of gratitude for this closed thread, and everyone who helped make
 64-bit OS X GHC possible.

 This wasn't simply about memory. Some things have historically been hard
 to install on Mac OS X, typically depending on gtk. The package manager
 Homebrew for OS X builds 64 bit binaries (because that is OS X's native
 tongue) and in my experience, everything that was hard before "just works"
 with Homebrew. In particular, I now for the first time have threadscope up
 on a Mac. Thanks to 64-bit GHC, and its increased compatibility with
 third-party efforts. As word gets out that Homebrew should be the default
 choice for cabal prerequisites, more Mac users will be installing 64-bit
 GHC, whatever their installed memory.

 Any chance the binary distribution will become 64 bit native in the near
 future?  Installing macports to compile GHC, then compiling it again and
 cleaning up afterwords is quite a roundabout way of getting the job done.

 Probably not, we don't maintain the 6.12 branch any more.  If someone were
 to submit a patch, we could push it to the branch though.

 This ticket can be closed. ghc-6.10.4 from macports gives you a 64bit
 compiler that can be used to create a ghc-7.0.1 64bit compiler. (Just
 ghc-6.12.3 does not support 64bit.)

 > Pointers might be twice as long, but the data shouldn't magically double

 Ordinary Haskell data structures do double in size on a 64-bit machine
 with GHC.  The only data structures that do not double in size are things
 like unboxed arrays, vectors, `ByteStrings`, and `Text`.  These are the
 majority in some programs, but I expect not in most programs.

 Pointers might be twice as long, but the data shouldn't magically double

 Probably not, I expect our x86-64 code generator should work well enough.
 The OSX ABI is a little different from Linux in that IIRC -fPIC is the
 default, but our code generator already handles this I believe.

 Sorry, the formatting of that post got screwed up a bit by the wiki.  The
 salient error message is:

 unrecognized option `--with-cabal-install=../cabal-
 install-0.6.2/dist/build/cabal/cabal'

Comment(by jeffschwab):

 Thanks; ghc --make Setup.hs enables the creation of a stand-alone Setup
 executable, but "make install" still fails.  It's not just mtl; most of
 the packages do not have Setup scripts.  I think the problem is that
 ${platform}/scripts/build.sh is not completing normally.  I've tried
 running it manually:

 haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2$ scripts/build.sh
 Platform package mtl-1.1.0.2 is already installed. Skipping...

 Error:

 By the way, during the initial make (before make install), I see an awful
 lot of warnings about unused variables, compatibility issues, and
 deprecation.  Is that normal?

Comment(by jeffschwab):

 Happy is apparently included in the 32-bit binary platform download;
 configure and make work with these instructions:

 http://obvioushints.blogspot.com/2009/09/running-haskell-ghc-on-snow-
 leopard.html

 Sadly, make install fails with an error in mtl (a "monad transformer
 library," whatever that is):

 haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2$ make install
 scripts/install.sh
 Installing mtl-1.1.0.2...

 Error:
 The mtl-1.1.0.2/Setup script does not exist or cannot be run
 make: *** [install] Error 2

 The script does exist, but apparently has unresolved dependencies:

 haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2$ ghc packages/mtl-1.1.0.2/Setup.hs
 Undefined symbols:
   "___stginit_Cabalzm1zi6zi0zi3_DistributionziSimple_", referenced from:

   _ZCMain_main_info in Setup.o
   _Main_main_srt in Setup.o

 I don't know who mangled those "_Cabalzm1zi6zi..." names, but the XCode 3
 default c++filt does not seem to recognize them.

Comment:

 The work-around flags above are apparently no longer sufficient to install
 the Haskell platform on Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.2).  The error message is
 that "happy" is required.  Given that one cannot build happy without
 Haskell, and cannot build Haskell without Happy, it seems one is
 completely out of luck.  MacPorts gives an error message for both happy
 and ghc:

 Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: ghc is not yet supported on Mac
 OS X 10.6.x (SnowLeopard)

 I know next to nothing about either Haskell or MacPorts, but I'd be happy
 to spend a weekend or two wrestling with it, if someone can point me in
 the right direction.

Comment (by simonmar):

 I've removed Wolfgang as maintainer, as we haven't heard from him in a
 long time.  That leaves you ;-)  Any other interested maintainers, please
 add yourselves: [wiki:Contributors].

 Bear in mind that the 64-bit build will use twice as much memory, so I can
 imagine some people might still want the 32-bit version, especially since
 a large proportion of OS X machines are laptops.

 Replying to [comment:25 simonpj]:

 The way I see it, as soon as GHC works as a 64 bit app on OS X, this will
 very soon be the main version for OS X and it's the maintenance of the 32
 bit version that you need to worry about.  I am currently listed (with
 Wolfgang Taller) as x86 platform maintainer.  As soon as there is a 64 bit
 version of GHC on OS X, I will surely use that (as will most GHC users on
 Macs).

Comment (by axman6):

 It's my ticket, so i guess i could take some responsibility. I'm not sure
 how useful I could be, or how much time i could spend, at least not until
 the summer holidays here (December to February). I've also never looked
 into GHC's source, so I'd probably need help too. So anyway, sign me up as
 co-maintainer, and i'll see how i can help when I have time.

 I'd also like to say thanks to everyone for the recent activity regarding
 this ticket. With Snow Leopard being the first Mac OS favouring 64-bit
 over 32, I think it's important that GHC move that way, so it doesn't feel
 left behind on the system.

 I would definitely be willing to "co-maintain" this with someone else, but
 as a relative newcomer to Haskell and GHC (who hasn't even succeeded in
 making an unregistered build for this platform yet) I don't think I'd be
 suitable as a sole maintainer. Any experts out there who'd be willing to

 But for us to sign up to Tier-1-ness, we need someone (or a small group)
 to sign up to being the maintainers.

Comment (by simonmar):

 Ok, just to summarise the situation:

  * 6.10.4 needs a tiny fix to work with Snow Leopard: add
`-optc-m32 -opta-m32 -optl-m32` to the script `/usr/bin/ghc`, or
 wherever
ghc lives on your system.  If there is a problem with TH, then please
make a separate ticket.

  * The 32-bit OS X distribution of GHC 6.12.1 will work on Snow Leopard
 without
modification.

  * A 64-bit port is being worked on by various people (see e.g. #3472; we
 will
help with the porting effort)

  * 64-bit OS X is, for the time being, a Tier-2 platform.  That means we
 expect
the community to support it, with guidance from GHC HQ.  We don't hold
 up
releases for it.  (this is moot since there isn't even a working port
 at
this stage, but still).  However, depending on how much extra work is
involved and the demand, we'll consider upgrading it to Tier-1 in the
 future.

Comment (by maeder):

 Is there a workaround for template haskell (TH) code being compiled in
 32bit mode? How does TH call ghc internally? (Adding "-optc-m32 -opta-m32
 -optl-m32" to the installed ghci (and runghc?) did not help.)

 Since the release of Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.8) x86_64-apple-darwin is
 the default for Macs.  Given the upgrade price for Snow Leopard and the
 typical adoption rate of Macs users, this will soon be the most widely
 used Mac platform.

 I'm not sure it even works unregistered, actually. The unregistered OS X
 x86_64 ghc build that Ian Lynagh made a couple of months ago unfortunately
 included a bug that has since been fixed, that appeared (to Austin and me,
 at least) to prevent using it to build another GHC with it. And more
 recent attempts on my part to make a new unregistered build for x86_64 ran
 into several issues as described on #3472 . I've tried several times and
 have failed, but maybe my approach is incorrect, so I'd welcome it if
 anyone else on this CC list could try similar steps to see if it's PEBKAC
 :)

Comment:

 There seems to already be support for the `x86_64-apple-darwin` target in
 configure.ac; running configure like so:

 {{{./configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin}}}

 results in x86_64_HOST_ARCH being defined throughout.

 The Stage1 compiler seems to mostly build after this; the first failure is
 in Adjustor.c because as Manuel said the runtime system isn't designed to
 handle 64bit OS X yet - the code path indeed needs to be split.

 I'm taking over this ticket because I'm interested in getting it working;
 64bit support is already there and it would be nice to have on OS X.

Comment (by chak):

 I agree that it would be interesting to get this to work.  But this won't
 be done with a couple of CFLAGS.  There is more involved, such as getting
 the runtime system compile for 64bit.  All the required code should
 already be in there (for 64bit support on other archs), but the Mac build
 currently assumes 32bit.  So, that should be split into two paths, one Mac
 32bit and one Mac 64bit (and then there is Mac ppc of course).

 Not much to say other than GHC does not compile as a 64-bit program on OS
 X, even on 64-bit systems (all shipping macs are 64-bit, and have been for
 somewhere up to a year).

 I've tried to see if i can get it to compile 64-bit, and I haven't had any
 luck at all. configure doesn't seem to take any notice of CFLAGS etc.
