Hello folks,

I'm trying to install cabal after built ghc 8.8.2 on smartos, seems the src bundled within ghc src tarball not working:

Error during cabal-install bootstrap:
Failed to download Cabal.
[root@hswander /build/ghc-8.8.2/libraries/Cabal/cabal-install]#

I wonder what's the official way to do it?

btw, I don't know why I can not send msg to the freenode #cabal channel:


(15时11分28秒) ComplYue: ping
(15时11分28秒) Cannot send to nick/channel

Thanks with best regards,

Compl
