Done. You can close bugs yourself by sending

Some should be closed, and bug-guix should be removed from the thread.

As is, ghc does not work after guix install ghc. gcc-toolchain must be installed alongside it to work. Maybe the reason for this was to not propagate particular versions of the gcc-toolchain and possibly conflict with others. Thanks! John
Re: Bug? Haskell GHC wont' work since ghc@8.6?
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 after: guix install ghc Might do. Lots of ideas :-) Cheers, yasu On Sun, 2021-01-10 at 22:18 -0800, John Soo wrote: > Hi yasu, > > This question comes up on the mailing list every so often, but I > don’t think it is a bug.

Bug? Haskell GHC wont' work since ghc@8.6?
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 would love to have some language specific setup documentation. I had issues like this in mind. - John
Re: Bug? Haskell GHC wont' work since ghc@8.6?
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 is GHC already marked as broken? (Apology for repeated question marks :-)) ~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ guix install gcc- toolchain...~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ ghc a.hs[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( a.hs, a.o )Linking a ...~/co/haskell- tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ ghc --versionThe Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.8.3 Cheers, Yasu On Sun, 2021-01-10 at 21:49 -0800, John Soo wrote: > Hi yasu, > Compiling with ghc requires a c toolchain (like gcc-toolchain) > installed to work.

Re: Bug? Haskell GHC wont' work since ghc@8.6?
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
Bug? Haskell GHC wont' work since ghc@8.6?
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. Newer versions, including ghc@8.6.5, didn't work, throwing the error message below instead. ~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ cat a.hs main = putStrLn "a" ~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ ghc a.hs Linking a ... .gcc-wrapped: error: unrecognized command line option '-no-pie' `gcc' failed in phase `C Compiler'. (Exit code: 1) Cheers, Yasu
