Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell platform for GHC 6.12.1?

2010-03-05 Thread Thomas Schilling
GHC 6.12 changed the format of the internal package database. Only cabal-install 0.8 can read this format properly. Version 0.8 is only available on Hackage, the binaries available are cabal-install 0.6.2. I assume part of the platform release effort is to create new cabal-install binaries. On 4

I'm pretty sure you don't need mingw and all that. I've bootstrapped cabal-install on windows a few times now without needing anything more than ghc (though I haven't done 6.12 yet so I might be totally off base here...) You can't use the nice bootstrap script, but you can download and build the d
