Bug#555628: [RFH]: bootstrap of ghc6 on kfreebsd-amd64

[Petr Salinger]

Hello.

Please could someone help with bootstrapping of ghc6 for kfreebsd-amd64.

The main problem is that bootstrap recipe does not work.
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting

We have working ghc6 on both (linux-)amd64 and kfreebsd-i386.
See also needed patches in #555628.
Please could someone explain what is built in each stage of boostrapping ?
Namely what is really needed to built on host machine ?

I should be able to alter /usr/include to have the content of 
kfreebsd-am64 on linux-amd64. This could solve problem with

different struct stat and so on.
But I do not know whether it could help at all
and in which point I should do such switch.

Thanks

Petr

I was trying to reproduce the steps you made, and
p...@#ghc@irc.freenode.net suggested me to try to buildstrap from
FreeBSD, instead of linux-amd64.  I'm reporting my progress in 
http://www2.dcc.ufmg.br/laboratorios/llp/wiki/doku.php?id=ghc_does_not_build_in_kfreebsd-amd64#porting_from_freebsd

Any help is welcome.

These are questions I also would like to have an answer.  My guess is
that if we can build the ghc6 package correctly, it's good enough.

Thanks for your effort.
