haskell-stack

I have a software application that can be built and installed with stack . I would like to offer a binary package as well for Linux and Mac. For this purpose I'm considering nix , since, among other things, it can be used in Linux and Mac. This will save me the trouble of having to maintain two package types. After reading about how nix packages are defined, I would expect that a stack based project could be built with a configuration that would look like: { stdenv, fetchurl, stack }: # we need to depend on stack stdenv.mkDerivation { name = "some-haskell-package-0.1"; builder = ./builder.sh;

First, I created a new workspace: stack new xxxx stack init stack build then cd xxx\app stack ghci import Data.Map I can import other modules like Data.Char and Data.List , but I can't import Data.Map . GHCi told me: Could not find module 'Data.Map' It is a member of the hidden package 'containers-0.5.7.1@containers-0.5.7.1'.` The reason you can import Data.Char and Data.List is that they are part of the package base , which is included with GHC and is always loaded with GHCi. By contrast, Data.Map is in the external library containers . One way to load it with stack ghci is to add a cabal

I am trying to build a simple program in Haskell using stack. I created a new project using stack new and did a stack setup after that. The template builds fine. I want to experiment with binary file parsing, so I imported Data.ByteString . My build-depends in the cabal file look like this: build-depends: base >= 4.7 && < 5 , bytestring >= 0.10.6 , binary >= 0.7.5 stack ghci now just works, but stack build is still not happy. Can someone tell me what I did wrong here? Here is the complete error message: test-0.1.0.0: build Preprocessing library test-0.1.0.0... In-place registering test-0.1.0.0
