Thanks for adding this @FintanH!
There's a fundamental thing holding us back from using GHC 8 to build Eta which @puffnfresh discovered and it essentially breaks the REPL/TemplateHaskell. However, given that etlas
does not need to be built with same dependencies as eta
itself does, I think by rethinking our main build a little bit, we can make etlas
use GHC 8.
@rahulmutt No problem! If you need any help feel free to reach out :)
@rahulmutt However, the main eta repo has etlas as submodule and it is built with ghc 7.10 in that context so if we add not backward compatible changes in this repo it will break the eta build, no?
This stack lts worked for building. It might be worth having it for future upgrades to
eta
andetlas
. Maybe I can do the same foreta
?
