Comment(by kitchen.andy@…):

 Hi All,

 I've been working on updating the portfiles for GHC 7.4.2, I've decided to
 do it a slightly different way
 than the last guy. I'm going to create a port the installs the binary
 distribution of GHC, then
 I'll create a port that depends on that which will compile using the
 binary-distro as the bootstrap
 compiler. This will (hopefully) be less brittle and make the process
 relatively easy to maintain.
 The current GHC Port file is a bit of a mess (although a lot of this is
 because of patching that is
 no longer required)

 I've attached my ghc-bootstrap portfile, I'll keep working on the GHC
 portfile that depends on it.
 the ghc-bootstrap file is quite straight forward, except for post-destroot
 code that fixes some
 install_name problems.


 Any comments/thoughts/help is appreciated.


 Kind regards

 AK
