This is the same problem I ran into while trying to fix Issue 10.  The "quick 
fix", if possible, is to use ghc <6.10.  A 
slightly less quick workaround is to remove the 'c-sources' line in the .cabal 
file and manually link HOC_cbits.o into the 
build product (both the .a and the .o).

The primary cause is that the HOC_cbits.o object file is listed as a C source 
file, causing ghc 6.10 to complain loudly 
(stopping the build process) that there are no input files when 'ghc -c' is 
called for it.  Earlier versions of ghc silently 
ignore it and report success.

The deeper cause (the reason it's being done that way) is that it is a 
reasonably simple way of getting Cabal to accept 
an object file as an input to the build process.  Just removing the offending 
line won't work unless we also cause it to 
be linked in to the build products (presumably in a post-build hook in the 
Setup file).

If no-one else picks this up I'll get to it, but I don't know when that may be. 
 I'm not much of a cabal wizard though, so 
if anyone has any pointers I'm happy to hear them.

I'm attempting the second workaround (using ghc 6.10.1). What am I doing wrong?

$ ghc -package template-haskell -package base-3.0.3.0 -package unix -package 
mtl \
       -framework Foundation HOC_cbits.o HSHOC-1.0.o libHSHOC-1.0.a

Undefined symbols:

There are 2 ways I've found to achieve that goal.  One is to run 'cabal build 
-v' with the modified HOC.cabal (no c-sources line), noting the 
'ld' and 'ar' commands executed, copying, pasting and adding 
dist/build/HOC_cbits.o to both commands.  Then mv dist/build/HSHOC-
1.0.o.tmp dist/build/HSHOC-1.0.o before running cabal install.

Another solution I came up with is to (temporarily!) modify the ghc script 
($prefix/bin/ghc) - removing the 'exec' from the last line and 
adding 'true' on the line after, so that no matter what happens inside GHC it 
reports success to cabal.  Then, just build with an unmodified 
HOC.cabal (ie, with the c-sources line).

Obviously, neither of these is a "good" solution, but they both seem to work.

You'll also need to pull the latest update to the interface generator (pushed a 
few seconds ago) to be able to 
build the bindings.

All it does is makes sure the generated cabal files have "<4" in their "base" 
dependency.

I'm trying to build from svn.

$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.10.1

$ system_profiler
...
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G55)
      Kernel Version: Darwin 9.6.0
...

When I try to 
$ autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make && make install

I get:
+ Control.Exception errors (because of base 4.0)
+ linkage errors (HOC_cbits.o not used because not linking or something)

The attached patch lets me build with base 4.0.0 (using Control.OldExceptions) 
with some hand-tweaking of 
libHOC_cbits.dylib:
$ ./configure OBJCFLAGS='-arch i686' CFLAGS='-arch i686' LDFLAGS='-arch i686'  
--with-dynamic-haskell 
CFLAGS='-fpic -dynamic' OBJCFLAGS='-fpic -dynamic' LDFLAGS='-fpic -dynamic 
-read_only_relocs 
suppress'
$ make
(will build HOC_cbits and HOC, then fail)

copy libHOC_cbits.dylib to ~/.cabal/lib (or elsewhere in my ghc-pkg config 
library path)
$ cabal configure && cabal build && cabal install
(make sure HOC_cbits is an extra library in ghc-pkg's HOC package descriptor)
$ cd Bindings
$ sh ./make-bindings-macos.sh
$ ghc-pkg list

If you remove the c-sources line, then the following lines automatically build 
HOC
using cabal (at least for me).

cabal configure
cabal build -v2 | grep '\(ar\|ld\) ' | grep -v 'build ' | sed 's,$,
dist/build/HOC_cbits.o,;s,\.o\.tmp,.o,' | sh
cabal copy
cabal register

Is anyone working on the Cabal files for this?  If not, I'm glad to take it on; 
I've 
got a bit of experience working with custom hooks.

Here is the bug ticket on cabal side:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/188

I cannot find time to dig into it and am glad if you make it.

Sure thing.  I have some time I can devote to it this weekend.  Can you set me 
as the owner of the bug?

Should be fixed by r388.
