Quoth lhagan lhaga...@gmail.com, Just tried changing the flag in build.mk, but I get the same error. Also, I'm pretty sure I need the --enable-hc-boot flag. Without it, I get: configure: error: GHC is required unless bootstrapping from .hc files. Unless I've missed a whole lot of progress on this matter, it's going to be much more work than just getting the flags right. Several years ago, I managed to build 6.8, by starting with an OpenBSD port of 6.6 as an hc donor, and of course building 6.6 on NetBSD, and then using 6.6 to build 6.8. There's a great deal of debugging and patching that needs to be done in the process, some of it already done for i386 and some novel to amd64. I presented it to the NetBSD Haskell maintainer, but obviously it's a low priority - I think in the intervening years, you're the second person to mention it. If that individual (whose identity I can't recall at the moment) has a working NetBSD/amd64 port at this time, of any version, that would be extremely helpful; unfortunately I don't, I think my amd64 hardware is defunct. (I don't think I got the interpreter working, by the way, and that also usually means no haddock, etc.) Today, you'd be obliged to follow the same course, but probably would have to build one or two intermediate GHC versions as I doubt that 6.6 could build the current version. I understand the current version is not able to be bootstrapped from hc files at all. Donn ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
