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
