wip/ghc TODO
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
* Modify configure.ac and rules/build-package-data.mk to allow
|
|
``--with-curses-{includes,libraries}`` to be passed to the top-level
|
|
``configure``, and send a patch to the upstream.
|
|
|
|
-> Done: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10096
|
|
|
|
* Add the following ``./configure`` flags to eliminate
|
|
``patch-Makefile`` and ``patch-ghc.mk``:
|
|
|
|
* ``--with-dist-archiver={bzip2,xz} [default=bzip2]``
|
|
* ``BZIP2FLAGS``
|
|
* ``XZFLAGS``
|
|
|
|
* Build more bootstrapping compilers to support more platforms.

How to build a bootstrapping compiler
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You need a working compiler to build one. If you think there are no
|
|
bindists for your platform, you may need to cross-build a compiler
|
|
yourself: `Cross-compiling GHC
|
|
<http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompiling>`_
|
|
|
|
Assuming you have a working ghc in your PATH, just run ``bmake clean
|
|
&& bmake bootstrap`` and see if you are lucky enough.
