do my cabal/ghc have to be locked down to a specific version?

[alexacallmebaka]

hmmmmm, did you run cabal update before installing?

[thecsw]

yes

[alexacallmebaka]

i am developing under cabal 3.6.2.0 using ghc 9.2.8. could you try building with these?

[thecsw]

works great on those versions! maybe a hint to have those versions enabled in readme could let people know to lock their build environments? Thanks!

[alexacallmebaka]

perfect! definitely will note those down, still playing around with different versions of cabal and ghc. actually working on updated docs as i type this haha. thanks for catching this sandy!
