RE: GHC 4.08.2 binaries for OpenBSD i386 available

2002-04-10 Thread Simon Marlow

Hi Donald,

 I've finished a port of GHC 4.08.2 to OpenBSD i386.
 The binary package (12M) can be ftp'd from:
 
 ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/ghc-4.08.2.tgz

That's great news.  Have you tried using that to build a newer release
of GHC?  I'd like to get any patches that you have incorporated into the
main tree so we can support OpenBSD in the future.

Cheers,
Simon

GHC 4.08.2 binaries for OpenBSD i386 available

2002-04-05 Thread Donald Bruce Stewart

Hi,
I've finished a port of GHC 4.08.2 to OpenBSD i386.
The binary package (12M) can be ftp'd from:

ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/ghc-4.08.2.tgz

This can be installed with the command (as root):

pkg_add ghc-4.08.2.tgz

You can remove the package with:

pkg_delete ghc-4.08.2.tgz

If you want to see how the package was built, or just like building
from source, an OpenBSD ports system port (6k) is also available:

ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/ghc-4.08.2-port.tgz

Making sure you have a reasonably recent OpenBSD ports tree on the
system, download the port to a convenient place (with 150M free)
and:

tar xvzf ghc-4.08.2-port.tgz
cd ghc

then, as root:
make  make install

This should pull the sources from the Haskell site, build the binary
package and then install it. It takes around 4 hours on my P3 700
machine. You can uninstall this with pkg_delete, as above. Note that
you will need both bzip2 and gmake to do the build.
   
The port was built using the 2.9 branch of the ports tree so
feedback from 3.0 or current ports tree users would be welcome.
   
Send any bugs or suggestions to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED].
I will work on getting 5.02.2 and 5.03 built and out soon.

Thanks,
Don

RE: GHC 4.08.2 on OpenBSD 2.9, almost

2002-03-18 Thread Simon Marlow


 I'm trying to port any recent version of ghc to OpenBSD 2.9.

 I have, with a little bit of work, been able to compile 4.08.2
 from .hc sources.

 I now get the following kind of undefined symbol errors:
 
 Main.o: Undefined symbol `__init_Prelude' referenced from text
 segment
 Main.o: Undefined symbol `PrelBase_unpackCStringzh_closure'
 referenced from text segment
 Main.o: Undefined symbol `PrelIO_putStr_closure'

 PrelMain__1.o: Undefined symbol `___init_Main'

 segment
 .o::PrelMain(void): Undefined symbol 
 `_Main_main_closure' referenced
 from text segment
 .o::PrelMain(void): Undefined symbol 
 `_Main_main_closure' referenced
 from text segment
 
 My guess is that this kind of thing has happened before 
 ... is there
 an area in the source I should be looking at?

This looks suspiciously like a mismatch in the handling of leading
underscores in symbol names somewhere.  It appears from the messages
above that Main.o doesn't have extra leading underscores on its symbols,
but the libraries do.  Perhaps Main.o was compiled by the native code
generator?  Because the leading-underscore setting is compiled into the
compiler via an external setting, you'll need to bootstrap the compiler
before the setting will be correct for your system.

Try compiling your test program with -fvia-C.

Cheers,
Simon

win32 4.08.2 install question

2001-04-15 Thread David Bakin



While waiting for 5.00 for win32 I thought 
I'd get started with 4.08.2 - downloaded it today and installed it and the 
latest cygwin as per instructions. However: When following the "test 
the fruits of your labour" I invoke "ghc -o main main.hs" and get back a bash 
prompt and that's all. No files created, e.g., no main. Same for 
"ghc -c main.hs". Something trivial must be wrong with my setup. 
I've copied the ghc/bin/perl to cygwin/bin. No spaces in any directories

Hard earned hints for using Win32 GHC 4.08.2 and HDirect.

2001-04-05 Thread Mike Thomas

Hi all.

I thought I might share some hints on making HDirect work with GHC 4.08.2.


Installing and checking GHC:

 - Get the installer from the GHC downloads page, do the installation per
the instructions there, including Cygwin etc.

 - Remove the digit "1" from the bottom of lib/imports/win32/Win32.hi

 - Remove old .hi files from any program source directories you may have.

 - To test, try compiling the Windows hello.lhs example using the command
line "ghc hello.lhs -o hello.exe -package win32" and run hello.exe.

 - If you get linker errors about "importtimezone_dll" from time.o, you
need to add the line:
  push(@SysLibrary, '-lcrtdll')  if ($TargetPlatform =~
/-(mingw32|cygwin32)$/);
below the line:
  push(@SysLibrary, '-lwsock32') if ($TargetPlatform =~
/-(mingw32|cygwin32)$/);

in your "bin/ghc" driver script.  This is because the distribution is built
with an old version of Cygwin GCC which links against crtdll.dll rather than
msvcrt.dll when -mno-cygwin is set on the command line (GHC uses mingw32).
By doing this, spare symbols are resolved after linkage with msvcrt.dll.  DO
NOT SUBSTITUTE -lmsvcrt with -lcrtdll. If you substitute, you will get
errors about running out of resources on fileOpen at run time.

 - You may also need to update your GCC Mingw32 libraries and headers from
the Sourceforge Mingw32 downloads page if you have unexplained crashes.


Building HDIrect 0.17

 - Uninstall previous versions of HDirect including "lib/imports/com" and
associated libraries, which don't work very well with GHC 4.08.2.

 - Get the source from the HDirect web site and untar it somewhere.

 - You may need to edit "lib/WideStringSrc.c" if you use the latest Cygwin
distribution to remove a clashing definition and declaration of wcslen().

 - Build per the instructions in the INSTALL file.

 - This gives you a bare bones ihc.exe which cannot handle type libraries.

 - Install the freshly built lib/*.hi files in a new ghc "lib/imports/com"
directory and also the libraries (libHScom.a, libhdirect.a) into ghc's "lib"
directory.

 - Do "make clean", deleting "src/ihc.exe" by hand.

 - Set SUPPORT_TYPELIBS=YES in "src/Makefile"

 - "make boot", "make", then "make lib" as before.

 - You now have version 0.17 of HDirect for Windows.


Question Time:

Why does ihc ignore binary interfaces in type libraries such as dx7vb.dll?


Cheers

Mike Thomas

my Linux box running RH rawhide-2001-02-06 (a touch newer than the

When I compile a program, eg a test program like "test.hs":

 There shouldn't be any links to RedHat 6 packages.

We're providing the links for 4.08.1 since that's all we have, and a lot of

 packages for it.  If you have a RedHat 6.x box with an older

This will only work if you install RPM 4, no? I couldn't find a way to make
RPM 4 produce v3 RPMs, either. But never mind, I installed RPM 4, installed
the source RPM, downgraded again to RPM 3, and am now building RH 6 RPMs,

One problem I had: the spec file doesn't have a dependency on the jade

ANNOUNCE: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 4.08.2

2001-02-06 Thread Julian Seward (Intl Vendor)


   The Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 4.08.2
  

We are pleased to announce a new release of the Glasgow Haskell
Compiler (GHC), version 4.08.2.  The source distribution is freely
available via the World-Wide Web and through anon. FTP, under a
BSD-style license.  See below for download details.  Pre-built
packages for Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and Win32 are also available.

Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language; the
current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998.

GHC is a state-of-the-art optimising compiler for Haskell, generating
good code for a variety of platforms.  The distribution includes space
and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and
support for various language extensions, including concurrency,
exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, C++, whatever).

A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,
specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references,
contact information, links to research groups) are available from the
Haskell home page at

http://www.haskell.org/

GHC's Web page lives at

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/


+ What's new in 4.08.2
===

No new features, just a few minor bug fixes.


+ What's new in 4.08
=

This should be a stable release.  There have been many enhancements
since 4.06, and shed-loads of bug-fixes (one shed (imperial) ~ one ton
(US)).

There are the following changes

   - New profiling subsystem, based on cost-centre stacks.

   - Working x86 native code generator: now it works properly, runs
 about twice as fast as compiling via C, and is on a par for
 run-time speed (except in FP-intensive programs).

   - Implicit parameters (i.e. dynamic scoping without the pain).

   - DEPRECATED pragma for marking obsolescent interfaces.

   - In the wake of hslibs, a new package system for
 libraries. -package should now be used instead of -syslib.

   - Result type signatures work.

   - Many tiresome long-standing bugs and problems (e.g. the trace
 problem) have been fixed.

   - Many error messages have been made more helpful and/or
 accurate.

For full details see the release notes:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/4.08/users_guide/release-4-08.html


+ Important Info For Win32 users
=

ALERT: For reasons as yet not understood, as of January 2001 Cygwin's
mingw package has a problem that causes GHC-compiled binaries to be
built incorrectly. The fix is to ensure that your mingw package is
dated 2000 (you can set this in the Cygwin installer). See the
installation guide for more details.


+ Mailing lists


We run mailing lists for GHC users and bug reports; to subscribe, use
the web interfaces at

+ How to get it


The easy way is to go to the WWW page, which should be
self-explanatory:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/

Once you have the distribution, please follow the pointers in the
README file to find all of the documentation about this release.  NB:
preserve modification times when un-tarring the files (no `m' option
for tar, please)!


+ System requirements
==

To compile the sources, you need a machine with 32+MB memory, GNU C
(`gcc'), `perl' plus a version of GHC installed (3.02 at least).  This
release is known to work on the following platforms:

  * i386-unknown-{linux,freebsd,netbsd,cygwin32,mingw32}
  * sparc-sun-solaris2
  * hppa1.1-hp-hpux{9,10}

Ports to the following platforms should be relatively easy (for a
wunderhacker), but haven't been tested due to lack of time/hardware:

  * i386-unknown-solaris2
  * alpha-dec-osf{2,3}
  * mips-sgi-irix{5,6}
  * {rs6000,powerpc}-ibm-aix

The builder's guide included in distribution gives a complete
run-down of what ports work; an on-line version can be found at

There shouldn't be any links to RedHat 6 packages.  I don't
have a RedHat 6.x machine anymore, and so, can't make any
packages for it.  If you have a RedHat 6.x box with an older
version of GHC already installed, just run

  rpm --rebuild ghc-4.08.2-1.src.rpm

This should (with a little waiting ;-)  produce binary
packages for 4.08.2 running on your flavour of RedHat.

George

I'm sorry we've been silent.  MS has some kind of huge email backlog.
But the real reason is that POPL and a workshop have intervened so
we've been out of action for a fortnight.

The plan is to release 4.08.2 in a matter of days, not weeks.  If you build
the head of the ghc-4-07-branch you'll get the current 4.08.2, and we expect
only
tiny changes before the release (e.g. making sure it all works on Sparc).
4.08 remains our "stable branch".

Re: 4.08.2

2001-01-23 Thread Reuben Thomas

  Any idea yet when 4.08.2 is going to be released?
 [snip]
 Since the absence of any reply presumably means "not for a while yet",

No, it meant we were all busy with the Haskell Implementors' Workshop. It
should be released within a week.

Yes, I get a segmentation fault when the compilation process first comes to use
the resulting hsc executable.  I have tried several times to avoid this (by 
changing gcc or ghc versions) but without success.
