@Eoksni which version of GHC are you using?

[schell]

Wait - I think I can tell from the nice underlining there. It looks like you're using 8.2. I have a PR up for GHC 8.2 here. In the meantime you can configure stack to pull from my commit and see if that works. Please let me know how it goes!

[Eoksni]

@schell Hey, I'm new to the Haskell world and not sure how to "configure stack to pull from my commit".
What I did is I cloned you repo, switched to the ghc8.2 branch and used stack build there. It downloaded ghc 8.2.1 and started doing a loooooot of text which ended with:

And btw regarding you question - yes, I think I'm using ghc 8.2, to be precise stack exec ghc -- --version results in

The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.2.2

when I'm out of that cloned repo.

@Eoksni if you're working on a project with stack then you can point stack to use a specific package version (by commit hash) by using some special syntax in your projects stack.yaml file. If you're just installing global packages then you can do the same in your global stack.yaml (https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/GUIDE/#finding-project-configs-and-the-implicit-global-project). Once you have found the proper stack.yaml, there should already be a field called packages where you can add the following lines:

- location:
    git: https://github.com/schell/halive
    commit: 0bdd05305aaa7d80cdec115eb816e29300e44a2d
  extra-dep: true

That will tell stack to pull the halive package from that specific commit on github.

@schell Thank you! I added it to my project stack.yaml and stack build halive builds successfully. I guess I close the issue now.

[schell]

Glad that worked!

This is still broken, there is a workaround but the ticket should stay open?
