Add note about how to work with ghc-mod and 7.10 #35

Closed massysett closed 9 years ago

In light of this issue

https://github.com/kazu-yamamoto/ghc-mod/issues/437

could you please add a note about what to do to work with ghc-mod and GHC 7.10? Do you just not use ghc-mod? Stick with GHC 7.8? Use a ghc-mod fork? Or is it possible to compile ghc-mod with 7.8 and then use it with 7.10?

Thanks for the information. I have added a link to the GitHub issue. I do not know the answer to the question of what to do. I prefer to stay with GHC 7.8 until all bugs are resolved.

I did try compiling ghc-mod with stack, which will compile it with GHC 7.8. Though I got the ghc-mod binary just fine, I could not get this binary to work with my GHC 7.10 setup.

The way things are coded require that your ghc-mod to be compiled against the same version of GHC that you are using to compile your programs. If you compile ghc-mod with 7.8 and try to use it then with 7.10, it won't work :(
