Incorrect Mime Type for Mac OS Package

2003-06-05 Thread Wolfgang Thaller
Hi, The Haskell Web Server claims that the .dmg file for the MacOS Package is of type text/plain; some browsers on MacOS (IE and Netscape) therefore try to display it as plain text instead of downloading it. Is anyone able to fix that somehow? Cheers, Wolfgang

That, along with your HSrts.o later, ties in with the files that change file size except that /usr/lib/ghc-6.0/package.conf gains a pthread in the rts extra libraries. Ah yes, I overlooked that, because it doesn't happen on Mac OS X :-). It looks like I want to make a package-threaded.conf that

I'm not sure it's worth making a threaded-rts variant distribution right now, given that we'd just throw it away later. But you're welcome to try. We might not need the variant business when the new threaded-rts is finished, but personally, I like the thought of getting the Threaded RTS

Job Opening - Mac OS X 10.2 Binary Packages

Dear GHC for Mac OS X Users, As you probably know, Mac OS X 10.3 a.k.a. Panther is being officially released today. I'm going to upgrade my Powerbook right away. Panther adds some new functions in Darwin (for example, dlfcn.h and proper wchar support). GHC will automatically make use of these

What platform? Does everything work if you remove the -static? alpha, powerpc and hppa so far. I expect the same will happen for mips and mipsel. If, on powerpc, I run the final link command without -static (that's the only place it should make a difference, right?) then it links without warnings
