Let's get familiar with ghc building and validating :)

How to build

ghc building with Dockerfile

$ cp Dockerfile_ubuntu1X.04_ghc8.X Dockerfile
$ docker build -t <YOUR_IMAGE_TAG> .

Please wait for a few hours...

execution of your ghc binary

$ docker run -it <YOUR_IMAGE_TAG>
# cd ~/ghc_build/ghc-8.X
# ./inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive

How to re-build

edit source files

$ docker run -it <YOUR_IMAGE_TAG>
# cd ~/ghc_build/ghc-8.X
# vi <YOUR_FILES>

re-build

$ docker run -it <YOUR_IMAGE_TAG>
# cd ~/ghc_build/ghc-8.X
# ./boot
# ./configure
# make -j 8

How to validate

If you need trying validation, try following:

validation

$ docker run -it <YOUR_IMAGE_TAG>
# cd ~/ghc_build/ghc-8.X
# THREADS=8 ./validate
 or
