Trying to build from the current repo with ghc 6.8.2 on Ubuntu 8.10, I
get this:
$ runghc Setup build
Preprocessing library darcs-2.2.0...
Preprocessing executables for darcs-2.2.0...
Building darcs-2.2.0...
/usr/bin/ar: creating dist/build/libHSdarcs-2.2.0.a
[ 17 of 134] Compiling Context ( src/Context.hs, dist/build/darcs/darcs-tmp/Context.o )
src/Context.hs:3:55:
lexical error in string/character literal at character '/'
Here are the first few lines of src/Context.hs:
------
module Context (context) where
context :: String
context ="# configured Tue Feb 10 22:04:27 GMT 2009\n\

\[add .authorspellings file appropriate for our repo\n\
\Simon Michael <simon@joyful.com>**20090207235751\n\
\ This .authorspellings file is equivalent to the old hard-coded\n\
\ spellings in list_authors.hs. With this in place, darcs show authors\n\
\ gives the same output as list_authors.\n\
