Compatibility with GHC-9.2

[TeofilC]

This patch enables compatibility with GHC 9 and GHC 9.2

Oh I didn't see #117 feel free to close this. Though the one thing missing from that is allowing template-haskell=2.18

[maoe]

Thanks! I think we can close #117 in favor of this PR.

I wonder why GitHub Actions didn't run.

[TeofilC]

I think this line is blocking actions from running on PRs :

ThreadScope/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Line 3 in 8f51f5c

# - pull_request

[maoe]

Good catch! I forgot we had that. Could you uncomment it to run the CI?

[TeofilC]

It looks like that's done it now you just have to approve the workflow

[maoe]

Could you also add GHC 9.x to the Windows job?

[TeofilC]

I've added the windows jobs. I also tried to fix the builds of old GHCs, but I couldn't figure it out. It seems like the custom setup for glib depends on an old version of Cabal, but adding a Cabal >= 3.0.0 constraint to the solver doesn't seem to fix it. I imagine there's something weird going on because it's being depended on via a custom Setup

[maoe]

Thanks for taking a look at the CI failures. I'll also take a look hopefully later today.

[maoe]

I could reproduce the error like this:

ghcup install cabal 3.6.2.0
cabal update
cabal get glib
cd glib-0.13.8.2
cabal build -w ghc-8.6 -O0

Changing the cabal-version field in glib.cabal from 3.0 to 2.2 or 2.4 seems to fix the issue for some reason but I don't really understand why. I guess we can just drop support for ghc < 8.8. What do you think? @Mikolaj

Absolutely, such GHCs are ~5 years old already. And custom setups are now frowned upon and avoided in most cases, so not much sense to diagnose.

[maoe]

Alright, thanks!

@TeofilC Could you update the tested-with field and the CI config to drop GHC < 8.8?

[TeofilC]

Sure. Should be done in 4e7965c

[maoe]

LGTM. Thanks!

I'll upload a new version later today.

[TeofilC]

Thanks!
