[Q] Need help installing ghc on NetBSD

[Matthias Fischmann]

 Hi again,


I feel I am almost there, I found the -fvia-C flag (why is this not
the default?) and compiled all my modules to object files, but then
realized that there are not static libraries in hslibs.  I think I am
missing some essential detail about the ghc Makefile system, but I
don't know where to start searching.

I unpacked ghc-4.08.2 sources and hc files and followed the
instructions in

http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/ghc/docs/4.08.2/building/sec-building-from-source.html

The result was some .hi files in builds/data but no static libraries.
Same problem in hslibs/*, except hslibs/lang.

I put the line

HsLibsFor="ghc"

in $(TOP)/mk/build.mk, but then I run out of ideas.  (For a start, is
there any way of checking that my build.mk is actually loaded?)


 thank you once more,
Matthias
