7.8.4 package breaks on OS X El Capitan
lukehoersten opened this issue · 7 comments
Basically cabal-install needs to be built against the latest unix package.
Is there a suitable binary available? It's an easy fix if there is, the build process for ghc-dot-app uses a precompiled binary.
I'll get back to you on that.
I haven't moved to 7.10.1 yet because my applications perform 4x slower in benchmarks.
@etrepum need you to chime in on the latest comments on the linked issue. The nuances of the discussion are beyond what I have experience with. Perhaps you can give some guidance on what exactly is needed to make the 7.8.4 ghcformacosx package work on OS X 10.11.
I just need a binary of cabal-install to ship with it
If it's the cabal package in GHC that's the problem then we need a new GHC build that fixes it.
Sounds like the GHC team decided not to do a release for this. Perhaps you can work with them to try and track down why your benchmarks got worse? Surely they'd be interested in fixing that.
Sounds good. The workaround is compiling your own unix package so it's not
show stopping.
