Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell platform questions

2010-07-12 Thread Gaius Hammond

Hi,




This is still happening with the current DMG on the website, my  
solution has been to install GHC from the DMG, then get the source for  
Haskell Platform (haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0.tar.gz) and build it  
myself.





Cheers,




G

Any suggestions? (I'm on 10.5.8). Maybe I'll try the macport install

Thanks for your help,

It's a known issue, and it's mine. If you (naively) just expect to  
link on Snow Leopard without passing any special backwards- 
compatibility flags, and have things work on Leopard, well, Apple  
has news for you.


gcc -mmacox-version-min=10.5.8  ?

FWIW, downloading the haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0 tarball and building  
it on my 10.5.8 system (with ghc 6.12.1 installed from the dmg) worked  
just fine. Didn't take too long either. Unfortunately I don't see any  
telltale linker options in the build logs.

Something like that, on both gcc and ld; I think you also need a
-isysroot /blah.sdk GCC option (unless that's only for Cocoa- 
specific

stuff, I'm not sure).

I've been dreading it but I think I'm going to have to dig out my
Leopard CD and run it in a VM.

You won't; the point is that the default options changed incompatibly

I had the same problem -- downloaded and installed the new Haskell
Platform, and when I tried cabal I got the: dyld  error.  I'm also
on OS X 10.5.8.  Also, ghc users guide appears to be missing.

I filed a bug report.  To solve the cabal problem I got
  cabal-install version 0.9.0
  using version 1.9.0 of the Cabal library 

from darcs, and put  symlink to ~/.cabal/bin/cabal for /usr/local/bin/cabal

Now I'm happy (so far) with ghc 6.12.1 and platform 2010.1.0.0

Looks like they are. Perhaps the script is missing a `mkdir -p

neither GHC nor HP give installation receipts...)

Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell platform questions

2010-03-22 Thread Warren Harris
BTW, I started to try the macports method (thinking that maybe  
building on my machine would resolve the linker problem), but the  
package up there seems to be the old one:


$ port info haskell-platform
haskell-platform @2009.2.0.2 (devel, haskell)

Description:  This is the the Haskell Platform: a single,  
standard Haskell distribution for every system. The Haskell Platform  
is a blessed library and tool suite for Haskell distilled from

  Hackage.
Homepage: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/

Runtime Dependencies: ghc, hs-platform-cgi, hs-platform-fgl, hs- 
platform-editline, hs-platform-GLUT, hs-platform-haskell-src, hs- 
platform-html, hs-platform-HUnit, hs-platform-mtl, hs-platform-network,
  hs-platform-OpenGL, hs-platform-parallel, hs- 
platform-parsec, hs-platform-QuickCheck, hs-platform-regex-base, hs- 
platform-regex-compat, hs-platform-regex-posix, hs-platform-stm,
  hs-platform-time, hs-platform-xhtml, hs- 
platform-zlib, hs-platform-HTTP, hs-platform-alex, hs-platform-happy,  
hs-platform-cabal

Platforms:darwin
License:  unknown
Maintainers:  gwri...@macports.org


Maybe the dependencies haven't changed?

Also, not a big deal, but the instructions for the dmg version here http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/new/mac.html 
 page say to follow the instructions, but there aren't any packaged  
with it. I mistakenly ran the Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 installer  
first thinking that maybe it would install ghc as a dependency, but  
this crashed. Then I uninstalled everything, installed GHC-6.12.1- 
i386.pkg, then Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0, and rebooted... and then  
experienced the cabal problem.


BTW, there's some description of linker flags here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151112 
 but the developer claims 10.5.8 solved his problems (that's what I'm  
on).

 I installed haskell platform some time ago, and now I'm wondering what

 Or if I must first uninstall the one I have now, how do I uninstall it?

 Is it recommended to periodically upgrade packages that came with the 
 platform (cabal upgrade), or is it recommended that they be left alone to 
 avoid dependency incompatibilities. Similar question for ghc itself -- 
 can/should it be upgraded in the context of haskell platform?  (I was 
 hoping to try Leksah, but it dies without ghc 6.12.1. I seem to have 
 6.10.4.)

 Apologies in advance if this is all documented somewhere, but I couldn't 
 find it on the haskell platform site/trac. BTW, I'm on Mac/Leopard -- love 
 the fact that it didn't take hours to build everything!

I have no real knowledge about how the OSX installer works, but since
it's an all-in-one installer I would think that you can't selectively
upgrade parts of it, etc.  Also, whilst it might be possible to have
two versions installed in parallel, it would probably be better to
uninstall the old one first before installing the new one (not sure if
the installer does this for you).
