PostTcType no longer present in GHC > 7.8.x #8

Closed alanz closed 9 years ago

alanz commented 9 years ago

I have left the various staged functions in for GHC > 7.8.x, so that it does not break backward compatibility.

Could you please rebase this onto current master (rather than just the merge)?

alanz commented 9 years ago

Done

How do you test this against GHC head? I get:

:; cabal install --with-ghc=/Users/nominolo/code/other/ghc-head/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --disable-library-profiling -j1
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring ghc-syb-utils-0.2.2...
Building ghc-syb-utils-0.2.2...
Preprocessing library ghc-syb-utils-0.2.2...

on the commandline: Warning:
    -package-name is deprecated: Use -this-package-key instead
ghc-stage2: ghc no longer supports single-file style package databases (dist/dist-sandbox-20b01e58/package.conf.inplace) use 'ghc-pkg init' to create the database with the correct format.

You need to install the cabal from ghc source libraries, using GHC 7.8.3, via a sandbox.

Then copy the binary to where it belongs. It is a bit of a pain, but you only need to do it once

Here is another example of installing a current cabal

Now that cabal 1.22 is out, will you be able to evaluate this?

nominolo commented 9 years ago

Thanks, I'll look at this tomorrow.

nominolo commented 9 years ago

Done. Released as 0.2.3

alanz commented 9 years ago

Thanks
