Maybe I could get the time-package maintainers to fix the issue. Hmm, is it perhaps just a matter of upgrading your Cabal? The new cabal files aren't compatible with the version that ships by default with GHC 6.6. Is it really necessary to create a branch for that? Or maybe it is more trouble than I think.

Even better, it's just one command (obliterate, which does the same thing as unrecord/revert) But I must admit I was hoping for some configure-script magic. I have never edited configure-scripts before and are therefore quite ignorant of what is possible. Or how to do it. If it helps, our configure script is hand-written and not using autotools. -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 pgpFz6RJckiee.pgp Description: PGP signature - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[wxhaskell-devel] Compiling the sources with ghc-6.6.3
Hi all I've been trying to compile WxHaskell with GHC 6.6.3, as this is the stable version in Debian. I know I should have done this regularly, but I have unfortunately been getting into the bad habit of only compiling with GHC 6.8.1 and GHC 6.8.2. First of all, I assume that if people want to compile with old versions of GHC, they will have to live with using the Makefile version. E.g.: chmod 755 configure ../configure --with-opengl --prefix=/usr/local/ make Luckily, it all went nicely except for this patch: Sun Aug 19 22:42:30 CEST 2007 shelarcy [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Use Data.Time.getCurrentTime instead of (System.)Time.getClockTime to avoid build failure by generated non-UTF8 String The problem is that the module imports Data.Time, which do not exist in GHC 6.3.3. If I uncommit the patch everything compiles. And the examples in samples/wx runs - the two I tried anyway. Anyway, my question is, how do we remove this dependency on Data.Time for GHC 6.6 only, without forcing GHC 6.8 users to also not use Data.Time? Also, do other people compile with GHC 6.6? Or is it just me who have to, because Debian's is so out of date. Greetings, Mads Lindstrøm - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Would it be fair to ask people to install the time package? http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/time-1.1.2.0 If not, we could conceivably have a ghc-6.6 branch without the patch. I think 6.6 is pretty common (Ubuntu Gutsy uses it), although I personally have given up on using the GHC that comes with my system, and have just gone with whatever packages the GHC folks themselves provide. -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Maybe I could get the time-package maintainers to fix the issue. Is this Debian's problem? Doesn't anyone met get same problem on any other Linux's package system? But a binary package could just use a version without the patch. This would be the easiest for people. If not, we could conceivably have a ghc-6.6 branch without the patch.

Adding compilation flag for wxdirect by make and c-preprocesser. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.6/html/users_guide/options-phases.html#c-pre-processor So, I want to know this problem is common to some Linux's package system.
