- grab the HEAD off darcs, per Building/GettingTheSources (no problems here)
- run autoreconf (this went ok, because I had just upgraded my autoconf in order to build darcs)
- run ./configure
- oops, I only have happy 1.13, it wants happy 1.15
- go to the happy download page. what, no Mac OS X binary?
- grab the happy sources
- ./configure, make, make install. so far so good
- ./configure GHC again
- LOL, I need alex 2.0
- why isn't this integrated into the GHC build process? also, googling for just "alex" is un-useful. so is googling for "alex lexer" and "alex lexer haskell"
- LOL, *still* no Mac OS X binary.
- ./configure; make in alex
- have disgusting IM conversation with friend while waiting
- alex: "you lose at life":
Creating a symbolic link from alex-2.0.1 to alex in /usr/local/bin failed: `/usr/local/bin/alex' already exists
Perhaps remove `/usr/local/bin/alex' manually?
make[2]: *** [install] Error 1

- consider a career change
- rm /usr/local/bin/alex
- sudo rm /usr/local/bin/alex
- sudo make me a sandwich
- sudo make install
- okay, I have alex. yippee.
- ./configure in GHC again
- seems to have worked. With trembling fingers (or maybe that's just the freezing Southern California weather), type "make".

- Cry.
- Hmm, how old is my gcc, anyway?

- Will upgrading my gcc break everything? Probably. Should I do it anyway? Probably.
- Actually, upgrading gcc sounds about as appealing as a quadruple root canal. Maybe I can use gcc2 (2.95.2) instead.
- Aaaaargh, of course I'm not that lucky:
checking for gcc... gcc2
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
- Start downloading tarball for newer gcc from: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/August2003GCCUpdate/. Also consider becoming religious so I can pray for it to be actually useful.

- Wish that parents-in-law would get the faster internets at their house.
- Eat breakfast.
- Installing gcc on a full stomach is probably better anyway (though quite possibly not). Unzip the tarball. Notice that INSTALL is a directory. That's already a bad sign.
- Hope that autoconf; ./configure; make; make install will just work, since I don't have the attention span for anything else.
- Run make.
- For some reason, the configure script thinks that my PPC laptop is an i386. ./configure doesn't do anything. Nor does ./configure --help.
- No, actually it thinks I want to build a cross-compiler. Why would I want that?
- Apparently the hosts to build for are controlled by the HOSTS environment variable, or maybe it's set somewhere in one of the config files. I'm not sure. Nor am I sure why I have the attention span to grovel through the sources but not to read the documentation.
- Try setenv HOSTS ppc
- make
- Still complains with the same message:

- Try export HOSTS

- Still complains.
- For the 65536th time in my life, consider destroying everything Turing-complete and then going out to enjoy the big room with the blue ceilings.
- Apparently you can also set the TARGETS environment variable. Try setting it to ppc also.
-
??????????????????????????????????????????
? Host type i386 should also be a target ?
??????????????????????????????????????????
- Well, maybe if I could also set the HOSTS to just ppc, that wouldn't be a problem.
- Use grep again (the only IDE I'll ever need) and figure out to edit the GNUmakefile to change the HOSTS = and targets = lines to obliterate any and all traces of i386. There's probably a better way. At this point I don't care.
- Start make again. It is, at least, convinced that it only wants to be building a ppc compiler, without any of that crazy i386 nonsense.
- Go back to bed.
- ...but not *yet*. The hell?

- WTF is "libiberty"?
- Apparently, not only does it think it should be using cc instead of gcc (which are supposed to be the same anyway, no?), the PATH isn't getting exported correctly, because cc is certainly in /usr, which is in my PATH.
- Try setting the CC environment variable to {{{/usr/gcc}}.
- make. Doesn't work.
- make clean
- make. Doesn't work.
- Edit the makefile in the libiberty subdir: CC = gcc. Again, there's probably a better way...
- make. Doesn't work.
- make clean
- make. Really go back to bed.
- Decide for some reason to get back out of bed and leave the other warm body in it behind in order to start building gcc again. Consider whether I need psychological help.
- The problem is that it can't find cc in the PATH and although /usr, where cc is, SHOULD be in the PATH, it's not getting exported properly fsr.
- Create a symbolic link to /usr/cc in /usr/bin.
- Chainsaw, meet butter.
- make. libiberty makes it all the way through this time.
- NOW WHAT

- Figure this is probably because I don't have bison and yacc installed. Consider the comical aptness of the term "yak-shaving" here.
- Wait a sec, I do have bison and yacc! They're under /usr! Why the hell are they under /usr, anyway, and why isn't /usr in my PATH? Actually, that was probably just because I unzipped a tarball in the wrong place at some point. I guess I'll just put them all in /usr/bin.

- What is shared_memory_server.h and why isn't there an easy way to answer the question "what is it, and to get it can I just download the file somewhere or do I have to finally give in and buy the upgrade to Mac OS 10.4?"
- Wait a day. Drive to the Apple store.
- Get told that of course I can't exchange money for the goods and services I want, because my four-year-old laptop is too old.
- Consider buying a PC.
