Arch Linux User Repository

Please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/haskell#Configuration and also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/haskell#Static_linking.

The build (and probably also the default Haskell ecosystem in Arch) is still just broken:

The current ghc is 9.0.1 and this builds with 8.10.5 just fine, as long as the trick used by @lsf on cardano-node is applied also here:

Without the hacks it will fail at link time due to some missing libsodium stuff or even earlier than that due to missing Haskell dependencies.

In an effort to deduplicate the ghc-8.6 and ghc8.6-bin packages, would you mind switching to depend on ghc8.6-bin? Something like this should work:

PKGBUILD:

-makedepends=(… 'ghc-8.6=8.6.5')
+makedepends=(… 'ghc8.6')

arch-ghc.patch (run updpkgsums as needed):

-with-compiler: ghc-8.6.5
+with-compiler: ghc-8.6
