bug#45778: Bug? Haskell GHC wont' work since ghc@8.6?

2021-01-10 Thread yasu
Hi John, Oh, I see! I wonder if it possible to have a more convinient haskell-for-a-casual-developer like package or: parameterize the command itself, say: guix install ghc -option1=blah, -option2=blah, and provide default options as well? In the very least, a warning message explaining this a

bug#45778: Bug? Haskell GHC wont' work since ghc@8.6?

2021-01-10 Thread John Soo
Hi yasu, This question comes up on the mailing list every so often, but I don’t think it is a bug. I want to be able to choose the c toolchain ghc uses myself. I would rather introduce some Haskell specific documentation. We discussed during the guix day that we w

Hi, I'm not having this problem currently under commit 223d8fb4a0e31957c85ef42ef501c8ed038a7259, kernel version 5.10.4-gnu. So, I'm satisfied. However, I should note, for the record, that I did change my graphics card in the interm from the original reported AMD ATI Radeon HD 4250 (integrated GPU)

Hi John, Thank you, after installing gcc-toolchain, it worked! Then this is indeed a bug that should be very simple to fix? Just require gcc-toolchain (or some of its required features) as a GHC's dependency? I am also curious, what kind of testing (if any?) does Guix perform for packages?? Or i

2021-01-10 Thread John Soo
Hi yasu, Compiling with ghc requires a c toolchain (like gcc-toolchain) installed to work. Can you try again after installing gcc-toolchain?Ghc has not been perfect for me recently but I use it quite a lot. Hope that helps, John

2021-01-10 Thread yasu
This one ought to be very simple to solve (or at least confirm). Does anyone use Haskell daily? I am a very casual user of Haskell (GHC) and when I tried to compile something just now, I noticed that it can't even compile the simplest possible program..., unless I downgrade to ghc@8.4 or lower.
