[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

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).

Cheers,

Wolfgang

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 ...

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.
