HoC does not build

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Check out source from svn
2. cd hoc-read-only/hoc
3. ./autogen.sh
4. ./configure
5. make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: make to work
Actual:
...
ghc --make AppKit.hs    \
        -O -fasm \
        -package-name AppKit    \
        -odir build/objects \
        -hidir build/imports    \
        -package-conf ../inplace.conf \
        -fglasgow-exts -fth \
        -package unix \

on the commandline:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Oops sorry, didn't see there was a cabal file there now, perhaps BUILDING.CVS 
needs updated ;)

Still no success building with cabal:
...
[30 of 31] Compiling HOC.CStruct      ( HOC/HOC/CStruct.hs, 
dist/build/HOC/CStruct.o )
[31 of 31] Compiling HOC              ( HOC/HOC.hs, dist/build/HOC.o )
Warning: the following files would be used as linker inputs, but linking is not 
being done: HOC_cbits.o
ghc: no input files
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.

I have this same problem. I have tried installing using both 
configure/make/make 
install, and using the cabal installation and neither of these work.

Is there any estimation on when this will be sorted? Or, is there any work 
around 
that will get me up and running?

Thanks.

Here's everything I needed to build HOC and (most of) the examples.  ghc 
6.10.1, OS X 10.5.7.

cabal install parsec-3.0.0
cabal install fgl

svn checkout http://hoc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ hoc-read-only
cd hoc-read-only/hoc

sed -i.orig -e "/c-sources/d" HOC.cabal
sed -i.orig -e "s/Flag base/Flag base4/" InterfaceGenerator2/Output.hs

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

cd Bindings
sh ./make-bindings-macos.sh --user

cd ../Tools
cabal configure
cabal build
cabal copy
cd ..

# To get the samples to work:

./autogen.sh
./configure

cd Samples/UniqSort
sed -i.orig -e "s/import Foundation$/import Foundation hiding \(main\)/" 
UniqSort.hs
make
# To run: ./uniqsort foo bar blatz

cd ../Editor
sed -i.orig -e $'6a\\\nimport Foundation' HaskellDocument.hs
sed -i.orig -e "s/hocwrap/hoc-wrap/" Makefile
make
# To run: open ./Editor.app

cd ../ExpressionParser
sed -i.orig -e "s/hocwrap/hoc-wrap/" Makefile
make
# To run: open ./ExpressionParser.app

cd ../Browser
sed -i.orig -e "s/hocwrap/hoc-wrap/" Makefile
make
# Results in error.  Don't know how to fix this.

The original issue described here, being unable to build via configure/make, 
won't be 
fixed any more because the make-based build system has been removed.
