Building head & numerics project

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

The most straightforward thing to do is not to build the OpenAL package.
I'm sure Sven is working on fixing it, but meanwhile it's entirely
inessential.  Simply edit the libraries/Makefile.

Subject: Building head & numerics project

 

Hi,
So I'm interested in working on the project on improving numerics
performance in GHC proposed on the SoC page here
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/13 
Since I have a full time job, I'd just like to do this on my own time
rather than take up an SoC slot.

In that vein, Don Stewart suggested that the first thing to do was check
out the most recent ghc code from darcs and build it. 
Well, I've been getting the same problems as here
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/715
and I was wondering if anyone knew of a workaround or if we could figure
out an environment set up that *could* build ghc correctly. 

Thanks,
Creighton Hogg
