Failed to build xmonad-extras
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Hello,
Attempting to build xmonad-extras fails
Using the latest github branch from xmonad , xmonad-contrib and xmonad-extras
$ cat ~/.xmonad/stack.yaml | grep -v "^#" | sed '/^$/d'
resolver: lts-14.7
packages:
- xmonad-git/xmonad
- xmonad-git/xmonad-contrib
xmonad --version
xmonad 0.15
stack init --force
Looking for .cabal or package.yaml files to use to init the project.
Using cabal packages:
- xmonad-git/xmonad-contrib/
- xmonad-git/xmonad-extras/
- xmonad-git/xmonad/
Selecting the best among 16 snapshots...
[...]
Selected resolver: lts-14.7
Resolver 'lts-14.7' does not have all the packages to match your requirements.
xmonad-contrib version 0.16 found
- xmonad-extras requires >=0.10 && <0.16
Using package flags:
- xmonad-extras: FlagName "testing" = False, FlagName "with_brightness" = True, FlagName "with_hint" = True, FlagName "with_hlist" = False, FlagName "with_mpd" = True, FlagName "with_regex_posix" = True, FlagName "with_sound" = True, FlagName "with_template_haskell" = True
This may be resolved by:
- Using '--omit-packages' to exclude mismatching package(s).
- Using '--resolver' to specify a matching snapshot/resolver
I've tried with --resolver lts-14.7 but no change. Am i doing something wrong?
Any input is appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave
My guess is that xmonad-extras needs to relax its version constraints on xmonad-contrib to compile with the latest version. Maybe @psibi can help?
Thank you for the input @peti
Im assuming it has to do with xmonad-extras.cabal file.
Was playing with it a bit but not sure exactly what version numbers to put.
xmonad-extras/xmonad-extras.cabal
Line 45 in b4049a8
xmonad>=0.15 && <0.16, xmonad-contrib>=0.15 && <0.16Similar to here
But no change.
@davama You would likely need to relax the xmonad-contrib changes in the xmonad-extras cabal file:
xmonad-contrib >= 0.15
I will give more time to this tomorrow.
