Reduction in Windows CI capacity

tl;dr. GHC's CI capacity will be a reduced due to a loss of sponsorship, particularly in Windows runner capacity. Help wanted in finding additional capacity. Hi all, For many years Google X has generously donated Google Compute Engine resources to GHC's CI infrastructure. We all ow

Re: Has ghc-9.0 for windows changed to require installation?

No, there's no change at all in the portability. This looks like a fallout from switching from Make to Hadrian. ghcii.sh was created as an artifact of make install. Hadrian seems to lack this step. Note that this script is nothing magical, it's just a hack around how signal handlers in Native win

Re: Find the ghc binary path from libdir

Hi, Well the purpose is a bit convoluted, but here it goes: Basically, we want to know which `ghc` version `cabal-install` is going to pick for compiling the project in a platform independent way without resorting to linking to `Cabal`. You can execute `cabal exec -- ghc` which launches the

Find the ghc binary path from libdir

Hello everyone! I want to find out the location of the `ghc` (and `ghc-pkg`) executable given the `$libdir` (obtained by `ghc --print-libdir`). Is there a platform independent way of doing that, which we can rely on? E.g. on windows, we found that the ghc executable's location is: * `$libdir/

Re: Has ghc-9.0 for windows changed to require installation?

Thanks for flagging this. This would be the opposite direction of what I’ve been advocating for. That we get bindists for Linux and macOS that work by simply unpacking them. On Mon, 8 Feb 2021 at 10:05 PM, Takenobu Tani wrote: > Hi devs, > > The ghc-binary for windows needs to `make install` sin

Has ghc-9.0 for windows changed to require installation?

Hi devs, The ghc-binary for windows needs to `make install` since ghc-9.0 [1]. Is this an intended change? Previously, ghc-8.10.4 binary for windows [2] doesn't need to `make install`. We only expand the tar-file and then we can execute `bin/ghcii.sh`. [1]: https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.0
