my nslu2. Unfortunately darcs requires ghc, and ghc requires itself to compile. This leads us to the joy of making a new port.

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html

I started with the above link and tried to get it to work. So far, the files they tell you to copy includes/(ghcautoconf.h DeriviedConstants.h GHCConstants.h) are not created by the configure step so you need to run make boot in the ghc directory on the target.

Then after copying them over make them read only, as my touches weren't enough to prevent their makefiles from trying to rebuild those files.

i managed to get it to start building, but it died trying to make the compiler with a bunch of cast errors.
