Re: [JVM-B] haskell-jvm-bridge-0.3.1.RC5 revived!

[Artem Gr <ar...@bi...>]

I have compiled the Bridge under FreeBSD (6.1-RELEASE), using it's 
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_1 and GHC-6.6!

The Native part compiled NP after i've figured how to add another JVM 
into configuration tests, but the Haskell part required a lot of 
hacking, and given that i don't use and/or like autoconf & co., it is 
unprobable for me to do an autoconf release supporting both GHC-6.4 and 
GHC-6.6. In particular, GHC-6.6 can't link an executable when object 
files was compiled with "-package-name", so one of my hacks was to 
compile required executables (ShowClasses etc) without "-package-name" 
and then remove them from Makefile and recompile everything (except the 
executables this time), so that the same files can be used for the 
package, and i've just too unconfortable with autoconf/automake stuff to 
automate it.

I'm considering removal of the autoconf/automake stuff from the Haskell 
part of the bridge, with something much simpler being used to build and 
install it.
