[nhc-bugs] How serious are these?

[Feliks Kluzniak]

Hello,

I am trying to install nhc on my machine (ix86, OpenBSD) by building it from
the source distribution.

I get a number of warnings (see below).  The warnings about the large decimal
constants seem worrying: is it supposed to be like this?

The build failed, because I have no Java (which, I think, was not mentioned in
the installation documents).  To what extent will this limit my options?

I am looking forward to your response.

Sincerely,
-- Feliks Kluzniak

P.S. Just in case it might help throw some light on the problem, here is the
output from configure.

Configuring for nhc98... [ v1.10 (2001-10-19) ]
--------
Configuring hmake... [ 2.03 (2001-10-02) ]
  (hmake configuration is done once only.)
First we look for already-installed Haskell compilers:
  Looking for hbc... (not found)
  Looking for ghc... (not found)
  Looking for nhc13... (not found)
  Looking for nhc98... (not found)
You said you want to use gcc to build hmake.
  Now I'm creating targets/ix86-OpenBSD/hmake.config for your installation.

If I got something wrong, you can edit
   targets/ix86-OpenBSD/hmake.config
   by hand and run 'configure' again.  (I will not undo your changes.)
   (You can force me to auto-configure hmake again by removing that file.)
Done.

                   Configuration report for nhc98.
    (You can re-run configure to change settings before proceeding.)
You wish (eventually) to install the following components in these locations:
    (Installation directories are not created/checked at this stage.)
Final install root:   /scratch/try/nhc
hmake binaries:       /scratch/try/nhc/lib/hmake/ix86-OpenBSD
nhc98 binaries/libs:  /scratch/try/nhc/lib/nhc98/ix86-OpenBSD
Interfaces/includes:  /scratch/try/nhc/include/nhc98
Scripts:              /scratch/try/nhc/bin
Man pages:            /scratch/try/nhc/man/man1
Html documents:       (none)

Now we check/create your build directories:
Config directory:      targets/ix86-OpenBSD
Build directory root:  /scratch/try/nhc/nhc98-1.10/targets (exists)
Object files build in: /scratch/try/nhc/nhc98-1.10/targets/ix86-OpenBSD (exists)
Executables and libs:  /scratch/try/nhc/nhc98-1.10/lib/ix86-OpenBSD (created)

You are going to build nhc98 with:          gcc
nhc98comp uses RTS delimiters?              yes
This machine's endian-ness is:              -DLOW_BYTE_FIRST (detected) 
Executables need .exe suffix?               no  (detected)
Testing for the curses library:             -lcurses (detected) 
Testing for the readline library:           -lreadline (detected)
