Closed saucetray closed 3 years ago

saucetray commented 3 years ago

This tries to install and cannot find Cocoa after trying to compile Diagrams.Parametric.Adjust.

Mac OS Big Sur

This doesn't seem to be diagrams-specific. For example see https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/18446 . I'll keep this ticket open for now in case there's something we can do to help mitigate this but ultimately this seems to be a GHC / Mac OS issue.

Out of interest, why does diagrams-lib need Cocoa? If it's not too deeply embedded in the library could it possibly be avoided entirely?

byorgey commented 3 years ago

diagrams-lib does not need Cocoa. I haven't the faintest idea why Cocoa is being loaded.

Edited to clarify: diagrams-lib does not intentionally or explicitly use Cocoa. I didn't even know what Cocoa was. It seems that there may be some reason that diagrams-lib implicitly depends on Cocoa on OS X, but I have no idea what it is.

This workaround was just posted to Reddit. No idea if it will help in this case, but worth a shot perhaps:

Ok. Well, since this is totally not your doing. I am closing. Thank you for your help!

seems this problem has been soleved by ghc 8.4.10 or 9.0.1, but diagrams has not support these 2 ghc release yet, is there any plan?

We definitely want to get diagrams updated, but with pandemic + teaching + new baby I have not had much time at all. But it's one of the next things on my list.
