The problem is that GHC is long broken for Darwin PPC, the last semi-official binary from Haskell is 7.0.4, and I was able to fix 7.6.3. Nothing more recent builds, as of now, and while restoring PPC code is feasible, building is non-trivial (gonna require multi-stage cross-compiling, FWIU).

Is it possible to build Pandoc with an old GHC (or, well, hugs98 or nhc98)? :)

We currently only support ghc 8.6 and more recent.

We currently only support ghc 8.6 and more recent.

Do you know which earlier version of Pandoc can be built with 7.x?

We dropped support for 7.x in March 2019. So, check for releases before then.
