That's correct.  However, since these are different versions of GHC,
you'll need a set of libraries that the GHC package can use (it won't be
able to use your 6.4 libraries, because it'll complain about the version
stamps in the .hi files being different).  You should point it at the
libraries in your CVS HEAD tree instead.

Cheers,
Simon

url problem, missing GLUT, and building package ghc

2005-03-15 Thread C.Reinke

perhaps some items got lost from my last mail:

- url problem on http://www.haskell.org/ghc/

  Mailing Lists points to non-existent
  
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/introduction-ghc.html#MAILING-LISTS-GHC

- missing GLUT

  the building guide might want to mention that one has
  to add GLUT to the MSYS (in section 13.4), or configure will
  exclude the corresponding package from the build.

  in particular, the ghc 6.4 msi bundle I got seems to lack the 
  GLUT-2.0 package

- package ghc

  I now seem to have a ghc from cvs head, and a package ghc in 
  ghc/compiler. From Simon's comment, it seems that trying to build
  the package will not depend on a compiler build, so the package is
  presumably built with the pre-installed ghc (6.4), but from the 
  sources of the cvs head. Is that correct, meaning that I should 
  register the package with the pre-installed ghc?
