Small update to the Haskell Platfrom 2014.2.0.0 release: We have new Release Candidate 3 versions of the source tarball... and a new generic-linux bindist of the platform!
- source tarball: haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-srcdist-RC3.tar.gz <http://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/platform/haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-srcdist-RC3.tar.gz> - generic linux: haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-unknown-linux-x86_64-RC3.tar.gz <http://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/platform/haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-unknown-linux-x86_64-RC3.tar.gz> *Windows and OS X users: There are no RC3 versions - as the RC2 versions seem to be holding up fine!* *General* - hptool (and hence ./platform.sh script) take a new --prefix parameter that is used for generic (non-OS X, non-Windows) builds: It sets the root under which haskell installations are located. Defaults to /usr/local/haskell. Everything will be placed in a directory named ghc-7.8.3-<arch> under this prefix. - activate-hs script for default Posix-like builds - small fixes to allow bootstrapping the platform with GHC 7.4 - README and LICENSE updated *Source Tarball* - all missing pieces now present - build platfrom from source tarball verified *Generic Linux Binary Dist* - Built from the GHC's generic Linux bindist for Deb 7 style systems - Complete tarball: this is all you need to install Haskell on a compatible system - Built on Ubuntu 12.04LTS - Tested on Ubuntu 14 - my system needed a symlink from libgmp.so to libgmp.so.10 - this seems to be an issue with the GHC bindist built components To install this: cd / sudo tar xvf ~/haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-unknown-linux-x86_64-RC3.tar.gz sudo /usr/local/haskell/ghc-7.8.3-x8_64/bin/activate-hs This will finish the package registration, and install symlinks from /usr/local/bin for all the standard haskell command line tools. — Mark *shasum -a 256:* ab759ec50618f2604163eca7ad07e50c8292398a2d043fdc1012df161b2eb89a haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-srcdist-RC3.tar.gz 0da6879ae657481849e7ec4e5d3c4c035e090824167f97434b48af297ec17cf9 haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-unknown-linux-x86_64-RC3.tar.gz
