64bit Solaris was: Re: 7.8.1 plan

Thu Apr 10 07:52:51 UTC 2014

Hi,

thanks to an advice put by Alain (cced), I've grabbed the copy of 
SmartOS and installed GHC there. It looks like this package is AMD64 
based. I've then moved it to my Solaris 11.1 and it runs fine and 
compile the code well:

$ ghc --make HelloWorld.lhs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( HelloWorld.lhs, HelloWorld.o )
Linking HelloWorld ...
$ ./HelloWorld
Hello world!
$ file HelloWorld
HelloWorld: ELF 64-bit LSB executable AMD64 Version 1, dynamically 
linked, not stripped
$ ldd HelloWorld
	libiconv.so.2 =>	 /opt/local/lib/libiconv.so.2
	libgmp.so.10 =>	 /opt/local/lib/libgmp.so.10
	libm.so.2 =>	 /lib/64/libm.so.2
	librt.so.1 =>	 /lib/64/librt.so.1
	libdl.so.1 =>	 /lib/64/libdl.so.1
	libc.so.1 =>	 /lib/64/libc.so.1
	libumem.so.1 =>	 /lib/64/libumem.so.1
	libgcc_s.so.1 =>	 
/opt/local/gcc47/x86_64-sun-solaris2.11/lib/amd64/libgcc_s.so.1

Well, so this is IMHO a easier way to bootstrap GHC HEAD on 
Solaris/AMD64. I currently do not have a time to deal with it, but 
hopefully will find some during the weekend -- well, if nobody is 
faster, otherwise I will devote my "weekend ghc hobby" time to SPARC NCG 
debugging. :-)

Cheers,
Karel
