GHC build steps for Haskell on SmartOS
Raw
haskell-smartos.md

I borrowed these steps from the buildbot setup for SmartOS I found at http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/builders/. Generally the standard build steps for ghc seems to work pretty well at this point aside from a few more test failures than I observed when building on Linux.

  1. Clone ghc repo and check out desired branch or tag.

  2. Edit mk/build.mk to be the following:

V=1 InstallExtraPackages=YES BeConservative=YES ```

  1. ./boot && ./configure && gmake -j16

Building the 8.X.Y versions of GHC requires GHC 7.10.X so I used the GHC 7.6.3 version available in pkgsrc to bootstrap 7.10.3 and then using 7.10.3 could build the 8.X.Y versions.
