Hello,
A port of ghc-6.2 for Mac OS X (both Jaguar and Panther) is available from the
darwinports system.
Information on obtaining darwinports is available from http://darwinports.opendarwin.org.
Once darwinports is installed, building ghc is done by changing to the lang/ghc directory and issuing the command:
sudo port install
ghc will be built from source and by default is installed in /opt/local/bin, although the
user may specify another installation directory.
This release supports building with HOpenGL support. It is not included by default,
but may be specified by the command:
sudo port install +opengl
Note that as the system is built from source it may take several hours for the
'port install' command to finish. (On an 800 MHz G4 powerbook it takes about
four and a half hours.)
ghc from darwinports may be helpful for those still using Jaguar and are having
difficulty with Wolfgang Thaller's binary distribution for Panther. Or you may just
like building from source, like me.
Best Wishes, Greg Wright
