[Haskell-cafe] compiling GHC 7.8 on raspberry pi

[Sven Bartscher]

Greetings,

I'm trying to get a haskell program to run on a raspberry pi (running
raspbian). Unfortunately it requires template haskell.
Since the GHC included in raspbian wheezy doesn't support TH I'm trying
to compile GHC 7.8.4 on the rpi.
Most of the compilation worked fine. I got problems with the memory
consumption, but adding a lot of swapspace solved this problem.
During the final phase the compilation process complains about a
"strange closure type 49200" (the exact number is varying, but most
often it's 49200).
Does anyone here have experience, how to compile GHC 7.8 on a raspberry
pi?

As a side note: The compilation is running in QEMU while the compiled
program should run on a real rpi.

Regards
Sven
