Arch Linux

Tried to install Leksah, but seems to be quite much that needs to be cleaned up.

Need to put a dependency on ghc, then solve all the version stuff

After I added ghc it was redused to this:

error: target not found: haskell-hslogger<1.2
error: target not found: haskell-cabal<=1.6.0.1
error: target not found: haskell-bytestring<0.10
error: target not found: haskell-containers<0.5
error: target not found: haskell-unix<2.6
error: target not found: haskell-quickcheck<2.5

There is an upper bound on haskell-hslogger version, but haskell-hslogger is currently 1.2.1-3 in official repositories. So build doesn't even start.

ok, now I see what the problem is.. it is a problem in cabal build file and went unseen by me.. sorry for that.. it's the cabal dependency it has >=1.6.0.1 and <1.5.0 which no package could possibly satisfy..

@wolfjb - haskell-cabal, haskel-bytestring, haskell-container are all provided by ghc. Is there any particular problem that prevents you from building this package? (error message?)

Doesn't build. There seem to be many dependency issues, haskell-cabal doesn't seem to exist, but cabal-install does, cabal on my system is at 1.16; haskel-bytestring seems to be provided by ghc(??) or I don't see a package for it; haskell-container may not exist, but haskell-container-classes does and appears to be marked as out-of-date. Not sure where to go from here, maybe I'm missing something fundamental about how this should work? At any rate, hope this information is useful.

Hey I'm unable to get this to build. First I get an error saying target not found: haskell-ltk>=0.12.1. I tried removing the version number requirements for the packages, which got me a bit farther, but then it was unable to build haskell-binary-shared. I didn't see any comments posted on that package so I decided to post here. Any help would be appreciated.

@kane77 Thanks, I'll let you know what I find.

Ok, so after a week I've been able to put it together, however yaourt seems for some reason not be able to resolve dependencies in form that I use in package 'some-package>=1.0' 'some-package<2.0', so you won't be able to do just 'yaourt -S leksah --noconfirm'.
Also it might be possible that if you already have installed some of the dependencies then it might fail, since I guess haskell libs require recompilation after ghc upgrade.. You should be able to just re-build them and it shlould work, but please let me know what packages need recompilation and I'll bump the package version for them.

Well, yes I actually tried removing and reinstalling all haskell packages and in the process updated couple of packages maintained by me, but leksah-server failed to compile anyway. I'll update package when I have some free time today.

@kane77: Okay, Leksah 0.12.0.3 and Leksah-server 0.12.0.3 both require transformers 0.2.*, but these are not the current upstream versions. Leksah is on version 0.12.1.0 [1], and according to the developers will be updated to 0.12.1.2 today or tomorrow. This package and the leksah-server package should be updated to the new version, and I'd recommend that haskell-transformers should be added as an explicit dependency to the PKGBUILDs. Let me know if I can help with anything.
