Ladies and gentlemen!
If you happen to be involved in using/developing haskell-powered software you might like to answer our poll on that matter.
Thanks in advance!
GHC as a cross-compiler
19 January, 2013 in Uncategorized | Tags: crosscompiler, gentoo, ghc, overlay | by Sergei Trofimovich | 2 comments
Another small breakthrough today for those who would like to see haskell programs running.
Here is a small incomplete HOWTO for gentoo users on how to build a crosscompiler running on x86_64 host targeted on ia64 platform.
It is just an example. You can pick any target.
EAPI=5, ghc-7.6 and other goodies
24 November, 2012 in Uncategorized | Tags: gentoo, ghc, overlay | by Sergei Trofimovich | 5 comments
Today I have unmasked ghc-7.6.1 in gentoo‘s haskell overlay. Quite a few of things is broken (like unbumped yet gtk2hs), but major things (like darcs) seem to work fine. Feel free to drop a line on #gentoo-haskell to get the thing fixed.
Some notes and events in the overlay:
- ghc-7.6.1 is available for all major arches we try to support
- a few ebuilds of overlay were converted to EAPI=5 to use subslot depends (see below)
- we’ve got working ghc-9999 ebuild with shared libraries by default! (see below)
ghc-7.4 in the gentoo tree
11 March, 2012 in Uncategorized | Tags: gentoo, ghc, hackage, hackport, overlay | by Sergei Trofimovich | 1 comment
A year has passed since last update from gentoo haskell team. Quite a few things have happened in haskell land since:
- ghc-7.2 and 7.4 were released by GHC HQ
- hackage got ever increasing ton of package bumps
- overlay got some of those updates
- cabal test suite by Thomas Tuegel became more popular
- and many others!
