I ran into that, too.  The problems here are threefold:

1.  The install-sh and other libtool stuff does not have the execute  
permissions set.
2.  The "gcc/BASE-VER" does not get created for some reason.
3.  The libtool stuff may not be correct for Mac OS.

I did the following:

(a)  I chmod'd the various "install-sh" scripts.
(b)  I created a "src/runtime/gcc" directory, and created a file  
called "BASE-VER" containing the text '4'.
(c)  I updated the libtool scripts with the current stuff from the  
Mac OS developer tools, then when that didn't work I erased the  
directory and re-got everything from darcs.

Don't know if that will help, but it might get you a few steps  
farther...

Thanks,

Thank you -- this helped quite a bit.

I did get a bit further:

Hi,

I have problems when building yhc under Windows at home:

Getting dependencies for depends\filepath\System\FilePath.hs.

stem\FilePath.hs -o depends\filepath\System\FilePath.obj

scons: *** [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'src\\compiler98\\Bind.obj'
scons: building terminated because of errors.

It shouldn't be getting dependancies for a .obj, then it fails later on.

With a scons clean I still get this bug.

Thanks

Neil

Trying scons on a freshly darcs'd yhc from today, I got an error, see:
http://paste.lisp.org/display/22129
or, to include the relevant parts of the output here:

gcc -I. -c -o src/runtime/BCKernel/external.o

On IRC, ndm suggested that "libffi" was needed; after "emerge libffi"
the error still happened -- so, me being on gentoo-linux ppc, ndm on
Windows, referred me to this list. I'm trying to find out what is
actually needed to successfully compile Yhc (now, for me, at least).

This has been fixed in darcs.

Thanks for the report.

Andrew

Hi Isaac,

can you build any program using ffi.h? e.g.

--- test.c ------------

#include <ffi.h>

int main(){ return 0; }

-----------------------

gcc -c test.c

cheers

Yes, I can compile that program "test.c" with gcc -c test.c
Just to test, without darcs-pulling anything, I re-ran scons on yhc, and
it worked to a greater extent than before (then erroring with:
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lffi
)
There must have been something temporary affecting that (my computer was
rebooted in between).

After darcs pull, scons errored:

scons: warning: Ignoring missing SConscript

darcs unpull'ing only those new patches that didn't look like they had
to do with ffi, scons then reached the same "cannot find -lffi" error.

does gcc test.c -lffi work?

<snip scons error>

sorry my fault, forgot to add a file to the repo when I made a change.

thanks 

Tom

:) no, adding -lffi to the test doesn't work:

/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lffi
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

And now that the scons has been fixed up, it gives me, as expected,

Checking for ffi_call() in C library ffi... no
YHC requires LibFFI to be installed and working.

In case the information helps:  the version of libffi (it seemed like) I
installed was 3.4.3, corresponding to the GCC release of that version
number (indeed, using its source code). (Although it's very probably
irrelevant, I'm using GCC 3.4.4 as my C compiler.)

Now looking around, I found /usr/lib/libffi -- it's a directory!
$ ls -lR /usr/lib/libffi/
/usr/lib/libffi/:
total 48
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 19970 Jul  5 17:31 libffi.a

[a couple spaces deleted to keep the lines from wrapping]

I don't know how much of this setup is Gentoo-specific, though, and I
don't know how libffi would generically be installed (e.g. starting from
the source tarball) in general.
