None for now. Just tried again here and had no problems.
Does ../inplace.conf (../ should be the toplevel "hoc" directory)  
exist? It should have been generated by make in subdirectory HOC, and  
it should now contain an InstalledPackageDescription for package HOC.
Maybe you could post the complete output from make?

Cheers,

[hoc-users] Problems with build for ghc 6.4

[Petter E. <peg...@ma...>]

Hi;

I have downloaded the version from CVS and run autogen.sh, but I am  
getting these errors while compiling:

ghc --make Foundation.hs        \
         -odir build/objects \
         -ignore-package Foundation \
         -hidir build/imports    \
         -package-conf ../inplace.conf \
         -fglasgow-exts
../inplace.conf: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or  
directory)
make[1]: *** [ghcmake.build-stamp] Error 1


Any clues?

Cheers,

Petter Egesund

Hi guys, if you check out the latest HOC from CVS, it should work OK 
with GHC 6.4.  It's not packaged up into a downloadable tarball, but 
the only difference between the tarball and CVS is that you only have 
to run the very simple ./autogen.sh script when checking it out of CVS, 
so it's really not a big deal.

One tip: if you're packaging a binary for distribution, see 
Samples/UniqSort/Makefile for a magic flag to enable dead code 
stripping with the Mac OS X linker.  It _greatly_ reduces the binary 
size (13MB -> 600k), but takes a very, very long time to link your 
program (~30 minutes, in some cases), so it's only worthwhile doing if 
you're planning to distribute it.

As Wolfgang has mentioned, it's not compatible with 6.4 yet due to some 
Template Haskell changes, module changes and package changes.  I'm 
working on getting it working with 6.4 over the next few days, so 
expect an update soon ...

Not yet, sorry.
I intend to fix that as soon as university leaves me some free time 
(lots of deadlines coming up in the next three weeks).

[hoc-users] building hoc 0.7 on os 10.3 with ghc 6.4

[Ruben Z. <rzi...@ya...>]

Hi.

I am a newcomer to hoc, and I am having difficulty building it. I am 
using the latest stable release of ghc (6.4) and am on mac os 10.3.8.

Is hoc compatible with ghc version 6.4?

The configure script ran ok. Here is an excerpt from running make:

ghc --make HOC.hs       \
         -odir build/objects -hidir build/imports        \
         -fglasgow-exts -package-name HOC \
         ../HOC_cbits/HOC_cbits.o        \
         -I../HOC_cbits  \
         -I../libffi-src/build/include   \
          \
         -framework Foundation      \

Chasing modules from: HOC.hs
Could not find module `Language.Haskell.THSyntax':
   use -v to see a list of the files searched for
   (imported from ./HOC/Arguments.hs)
make[1]: *** [ghcmake.build-stamp] Error 1


This was the first error generated, followed by others.

Thanks for any assistance,

Ruben Zilibowitz

We haven't done much work on HOC recently (especially I haven't gotten 
around to making it work with 6.4 yet - the CVS version should work 
with a GHC snapshot from a few months ago), but HOC is not yet dead. 
Rather, it's not yet quite alive enough - it probably still has more 
developers than users, as you can see from the mailing list archives.
I'm cc-ing the hoc-users list now in an effort to fill the archives :-).

I hope I'll find some time to fix things soon - feel free to e-mail me 
again now and then to remind me [and to motivate me :-)].

Cheers,

Wolfgang
