If you are suffering from long build times: Consider adjusting the _enabled_ghc_versions variable in the PKGBUILD to only the ghc versions you need.

@glib Oh, thank you, that's really kind of you! I'm sorry if I came across as too insistent, but I was afraid that this important package was getting neglected. Once again thanks for stepping up!

@mrzeznicki

Thank you for your kind gesture. I have updated the package to reflect the release of hie 1.4 (05-03), and I will make sure to update it faster next time.

Since the maintainer (called glib) is not doing his job despite flagging the package and my attempts to contact him via his public e-mail, I am posting the modified PKGBUILD to update the package to 1.4-1. One notable change is the support for GHC 8.8.3

You should probably modify _enabled_ghc_versions to whatever suits you better. Enjoy

Hi,

(Update: This has been resolved)

I following problem. After I install haskell-ide-engine with aura

sudo aura -A haskell-ide-engine --hotedit

and only allow 8.6.5 it works right after the installation.

However, when I reboot I get following error:

$ hie-wrapper 
hie-wrapper: error while loading shared libraries: libHShaskell-ide-engine-1.3-JV3iCI3NkRCAckhkg4Hxsq-ghc8.6.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I found the problem in the meantime:

This was caused by the section Avoiding Stack bloat by dynamic Linking in the arch wiki haskell page. Removing these line from my .stack/config.yaml solved the problem.

I leave this here in case someone else runs in this problem.

I made this changes from commit be9f535fc5ba

then I just executed makepkg

edit: formatting

@ZenTauro please provide clear and easy to follow instructions on how to reproduce your error.

edit: It also happens without that flag, I could build the previous version, but now it fails

When building this package with --gch-options="-O2" I get this error:
