Thanks Ben, this is great! Installing the binary on the Mac results in the following minor problem:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 docs/users_guide/build-man/ghc.1 "/usr/local/share/man/man1" install: /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install_man] Error 71 make: *** [install] Error 2 The error message is a bit confusing as the file does exist. It is easily resolved by rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1 I believe I encountered the same problem on ghc 8.0.1 rc1 Thanks George On Fri, Nov 25, 2016 at 6:39 PM Ben Gamari <b...@well-typed.com> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > The GHC team is happy to (finally!) announce the first candiate of the > 8.0.2 release of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler.
