binary-dists for ghc-6.8.2

Dear all,

I've built binary distributions for Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) based on (better
supported) GMP and GNUreadline frameworks and for Solaris 10.

http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/mac/versions/ghc-6.8.2-powerpc-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/intel-mac/versions/ghc-6.8.2-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2

The frameworks under
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/mac_frameworks/mac_e.htm
should do.

The Mac binaries have been built using
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)
and a patched Linker.lhs from
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1798
(also the files compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs and utils/hsc2hs/Main.hs
are patched according to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1395)

The PPC binary still features:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1845

The PPC ghc can be used on Intel Macs with the additional options:
  -optc-arch -optcppc -opta-arch -optappc -optl-arch -optlppc
(but that's slower than an i386 binary).

The Intel-Mac binary has also a patched file rts/Exception.cmm for
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1980 (although I don't know
if it is a Mac problem at all.)

I forgot to mention to install them using "make install-strip" after
"./configure" (to strip the binaries).

Are these going to be added to the main ghc-6.8.2 downloads page?

these dists are updated now, with a proper (though stripped) file
hsc2hs-bin that caused problems
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1395.

Also the file compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs is (still) patched
according to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1395

Both binaries have a fix for
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1980 now.
(Only the PPC dist has been rebuilt, the i386 one was only repacked)

Ian, could you replace the dists on the download page?

Done; I assume that these dists include the new hsc2hs-bin from
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2008-January/013998.html
?

Thanks

Will there be a binary release for Windows x86_64?

Unfortunately not in the near future; see this ticket for more details:
