Building Hugs on PPC Mac OS X 10.4 message: No rule to make target `../hsc2hs/Main.hs', needed by `../hugsdir/programs/hsc2hs/Main.hs'.

[Thorkil Naur]

Hello all Hugs'ers,

As a well-behaved boy, I try to prepare for the Hac07 event by, among other 
things, installing Hugs. I follow the directions on 
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs for getting and building a development 
version, cvs for hugs98, darcs for the libraries etc. All this happens on a 
PPC Mac OS X 10.4 with a ghc-6.4.1 installed from binary.

Unfortunately, I am now stuck in the "make". Initially, I got the
messages

...

and those "find: -wholename: unknown expression primary" messages made me a 
bit concerned: I investigated "man find" and found that the OS X 10.4 find 
does not have a -wholename option. Has this been tried before, i.e. 
boot-strapping hugs98 on a Mac OS X 10.4?

In any case, on a Linux machine, "man find" says that -path is the same as 
-wholename, so I replaced -wholename by -path in 
"hugs98/libraries/tools/make_bootlib" (which is the only place I found 
-wholename) and tried again. And this time, I am stuck with the messages

With my limited capacity, I have not managed to find a way around this 
obstacle. Your help to overcome this would be most welcome.

I hope that I am not wasting your time. I will gladly supply additional 
information.

And one last piece of information: I never tried to install Hugs from some 
binary distribution, that could very well work.

Best regards
