Failed to build hmake

I have been trying to build hmake with no success. My ports are up-to-date.

To fix this bug, the following patch must be applied to the current hmake version :

​http://darcs.haskell.org/nhc98/_darcs/patches/20081016151427-6871e-7c2c619f1ed51fea901aafe447fedbab3673d51f.gz

This teaches hmake the new ghc-pkg syntax.

Thanks Thomas. I committed the patch in r55446 and now I get past the error originally reported in this ticket, but it still doesn't build completely:

/mp/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_devel_hmake/work/hmake-3.14/script/hmake -hc=ghc HInteractive -d/mp/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_devel_hmake/work/hmake-3.14/targets/ix86-Darwin8/obj/interpreter \
         -i../hmake  -package base -package readline -DUSE_READLINE=1 -I/mp/include -L/mp/lib -lreadline

Warning: package(s) readline not available (according to ghc-pkg)

        /mp/lib/ghc-6.10.1/base-3.0.3.0
  Asked for by: SimpleLineEditor.hs
  Fix using the -I, -P, or -package flags.

Stop - hmake dependency error.

Maybe our resident ghc expert Greg will have some insight.
