[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 455 bytes --] Hi yasu, This question comes up on the mailing list every so often, but I don’t think it is a bug. I want to be able to choose the c toolchain ghc uses myself. I would rather introduce some Haskell specific documentation. We discussed during the guix day that we would love to have some language specific setup documentation. I had issues like this in mind. - John [-- Attachment #2: face-smile.png --] [-- Type: image/PNG, Size: 871 bytes --]
Hi John,
Oh, I see! I wonder if it possible to have a more convinient
haskell-for-a-casual-developer like package or:
parameterize the command itself, say:
guix install ghc -option1=blah, -option2=blah,
and provide default options as well?
In the very least, a warning message explaining this after:
guix install ghc
Might do.
Lots of ideas :-)
Cheers,
yasu

Choosing the C toolchain and propagating one are not really related. I
mean, one C toolchain could be propagated by default, so then GHC works
out-of-the-box. And the build transformation ’--with-c-toolchain’
should provide the flexibility to use any other C toolchain variant you
want. Is it not working as expected?
All the best,
simon

As is, ghc does not work after guix install ghc. gcc-toolchain must be installed alongside it to work. Maybe the reason for this was to not propagate particular versions of the gcc-toolchain and possibly conflict with others. Thanks! John
Hello, should the following issues be merged together ? 45776 45777 45778 -- Vincent Legoll
Some should be closed, and bug-guix should be removed from the thread.
