You should be able to do it like this:
- You need to have GHC installed first (maybe use compat4x to
get the port to build, or install compat4x and the 4.x package).
- Grab the GHC source dist, unpack it,
- create the file mk/build.mk with the single line "BIN_DIST=3D1".
- ./configure && gmake && gmake binary-dist
- if everything went well, you should have a directory ghc-5.02.2
hanging off the top level of the source tree, containing=20
a "binary distribution" ready for packing. Delete everything
that isn't also in the contents of=20
=09
ghc-5.02.2-i386-unknown-freebsd-boot.tar.gz
and pack it up.
- you're done. Send me (a link to) the package and I'll put it
on haskell.org, maybe call it ...-freebsd5-boot.tar.gz.
- fix the lang/ghc port to select the right bootstrap distribution
depending on the host OS version.
Hope I haven't forgotten anything! Let me know if it doesn't go
according to plan.
Cheers,
Simon
