- Build system:
x86_64-darwin(MacOS 11.6 20G165). - GHC version:
9.4.5. - Haskell.nix version (or commit) used:
b113a4a63c54f34d49d9f5d48ba6bbd65300bfa3.
Steps To Reproduce
On x86_64-darwin:
nix flake init --template templates#haskell-nix --impure
nix build .#legacyPackages.x86_64-darwin.haskell-nix.compiler.ghc945
Expected behavior
Build succeeds.
Additional context
Seems like xattr is used during installation since 9.2.3.
See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/blob/ghc-9.4.5-release/hadrian/bindist/Makefile?ref_type=tags#L149.
There is an existing workaround for buildPhase that uses xattr as well. Perhaps, it can be reused for installation but a naive approach to add it to preInstall didn't work for some reason
