Request: GHC 6.6.1 and gtk2hs 0.9.12

Hi,

It would be nice if some one provide a package for GHC 6.6.1( http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ ) and gtk2hs 0.9.12 ( http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ ), because the repo / aur version are outdated and it doesn't install properly. Thanks.

GHC is in extra and gtk2hs is in community, better inform the maintainers of the problems.

I did that some days ago. Luckily, it will be done soon.

Re: Request: GHC 6.6.1 and gtk2hs 0.9.12

I've found the reason of my problems when compiling ghc: It doesn't work with gcc 4.2.

How to fix:

- Build from the latest dev sources; (OR)
- Build with -fno-toplevel-reorder; (OR)
- Build with gcc 4.1;

GHC build OK, but gtk2hs refuses to compile, even with  no optimizations.

Any news about ghc-6.6.1? Because I'm trying to get it working on x86_64 and even with "-fno-toplevel-reorder" it can't get through the compiling stage. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, so can somebody please share their PKGBUILD, or perhaps a working binary?

GHC 6.8.1 and gtk2hs 9.12.1 are released! It now compiles without problem and without patches. It's trivial to update the gtk2hs PKGBUILD. I wonder when the new GHC will be in the repos .

ghc 6.8.1 is in testing and should appear soon in extra:

I don't know about gtk2hs though. It has been flagged out of date on aur, but that's all.

Nice! It's good to have it in the repo, since compiling it on my old computer takes years!
