Re: [Haskell-cafe] c2hs on mac
Sorry to Duncan, I hit reply which just sent my reply to your own
email address not to the mailing list. Second time I've made that
mistake. Hopefully this one will reach the list instead.
I can't even check out the darcs version from the repository because
that gives me an error (on applying patch 107/256 from memory). So I
am using the tarball for c2hs-0.14.5. Here is the problem:
./Setup.hs configure
./Setup.hs:11:57:
Couldn't match expected type
`Distribution.PackageDescription.PackageDescription'
against inferred type `LocalBuildInfo'
Probable cause: `addWrapperAndLib' is applied to too many arguments
In the `postInst' field of a record
In the first argument of `defaultMainWithHooks', namely
`defaultUserHooks {postInst = addWrapperAndLib}'
I have ghc 6.6 installed. I also have ghc 6.7.x installed in a
different location. I would like to be able to use c2hs with ghc
6.7.x if possible.

Does anyone know how to get c2hs to work on the mac (or why it
doesn't work in the first place)?
What is the problem exactly? Are you using the latest tarball or the
darcs version?

Re: [Haskell-cafe] c2hs on mac
Ok I managed to check out a version from darcs. Now this is happening: ./Setup.hs build Preprocessing executables for c2hs-0.14.6... Setup.hs: c2hs/c/CLexer.x: no alex preprocessor available The installation instructions don't mention that I need the alex package. I guess I can just install it and try again. Are there any other prerequisites though?

Ok, thanks. I finally managed to build it.

[Haskell-cafe] c2hs on mac
Hi, I am having trouble building c2hs on Mac OS X. I noticed that Darwinports has a port for this, but I'd like to install it without using Darwinports because I already have ghc compiled and installed on my system. Does anyone know how to get c2hs to work on the mac (or why it doesn't work in the first place)?
