GHC Single-Binary builder

This repository provides an easy way to build a single statically linked binary that does not depend on Glibc or other shared libraries.

Currently, only GHC 8.10.1 is supported.

The advantage is that anyone can easily add dependent libraries by not using long, time-consuming GHC builds or unfamiliar nix hacks

  1. Add options to package.yaml
executables:
  stack-minimum-example-exe:
    main:                Main.hs
    source-dirs:         app
    ghc-options:
