Mark, quite the opposite (sorry for any ambiguity) 7.6.3 is HOSED (BROKEN) / won't work correctly with OS X 10.9 and/or xcode 5 out of the box. Theres many many work arounds, but nothing we can bake in robustly (i think... i could be wrong on that)
Darin Morrison is working on some patches and testing them on both 7.6 and HEAD, but its a PATCHED 7.6.3 (ie and unofficial 7.6.4), not standard 7.6. so the choice for Haskell platform on that mac would be a patched "7.6.3+newpatches" or 7.8. 7.6.3 won't work (unless some special script like a variant of https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc-ios-scripts/blob/master/clang-xcode5-wrapper.hsis used to wrap calls to gcc/clang) On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 10:17 PM, Mark Lentczner <mark.lentcz...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hello there all!
