GHC 6.8.1 on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

[Christian Maeder]

Dear Tiger Mac-users,

binary distributions of GHC 6.8.1 for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) are stored at:

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/intel-mac/versions/ghc-6.8.1-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
and
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/versions/ghc-6.8.1-powerpc-apple-darwin.tar.bz2

As for ghc-6.6.1 both distributions rely on (the "universal") GMP and
GNUreadline frameworks found at:
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/GNUreadline-framework.zip
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/GMP-framework.zip
instructions at:
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac_e.htm

The ppc distribution features the bug:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1845

Only HADDOCK documentation is included.
(The message at the end of an installation is wrong anyway, because a
wrong directory is tested:
 Warning: this binary distribution does NOT contain documentation!)

I haven't checked the installation against a test-suite (could someone
put one up for download?), but the distributions work for our purposes
and might be useful for you, too.
