Re: [Haskell] ANNOUNCE: jhc-0.8.1
I modified it so all packages depended on are listed in only a single spot in the configuration to make it easier to change and give much better error messages. see the new http://repetae.net/repos/jhc/configure.ac and the NEEDS_PACKAGE macros. Possibly existing instances are pretty easy to work around, see USE_MONOID_DOC in the config file. I'll make the show instance for identity conditionally defined too, since that seems to be floating around. Having to specify specific versions in the script would be hacky, much better to actually identify the reasons for incompatibility and choose based on that.

Right now I don't have time to replicate the errors, but I will try again building jhc later.

Re: [Haskell] ANNOUNCE: jhc-0.8.1
Hello, I tried compiling jhc from source (compiled version doesn't work on my system) but after several attempts I just couldn't find a working set of libraries for it. Can you specify which versions of libraries are known to work for jhc?

Re: [Haskell] ANNOUNCE: jhc-0.8.1
Hi, I need to update that page, I compile it with the ubuntu ghc and the ubuntu packaged ones. Can you tell me what libraries you are having issues with? the ./configure should tell you the names of any that I expected might be an issue, I'll actually update it to check and report on everything consistently. even ones I expect to come with ghc. If there are compatibility issues between versions that's a bug I can fix. (usually just a 'hiding' or explicit import will fix any such issue) as for the packages i've been testing with fgl,regex-compat,bytestring,binary,mtl,containers,unix,utf8-string,zlib,HsSyck,filepath,process,syb,old-time,pretty. Specific versions should not matter from anything back in ghc 7.2 days to now, if there is a bug where it won't compile with a version expected to be found in the wild, please feel free to report it.
