Will BuildFromSource.hs be compatible with ghc 8.0? #214

Closed reinaldorauch closed 7 years ago

reinaldorauch commented 7 years ago

Tried to run the script with ghc 8.0 and received the message:

You need GHC 7.10 to build this version of Elm.
You are using GHC 8.0 instead.

Can I modify the script to run with 8.0 or there is compat issues with it?

Thanks for your attention.

Edit:

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

There are dependencies that currently prevent building with GHC 8. So the warning is there to prevent you from trying something that would fail anyway.

Yeah, the compiler is built with 7.10 still. If newer versions of Elm are built with newer versions of GHC, that will be reflected in the build script.

Thanks :D
