Thanks, but I didn't get an already working cabal at that time, maybe I should be trying install the cabal package from pkgsrc repository of SmartOS, but since the latest GHC of version 7.6.3 has been withdrawn from latest repository, I guess that's not preferable. Anyway I've managed to build GHC 8.6.5 from source and bootstrapped its bundled cabal-install, then have itself upgraded to 3.0.0.0. I find out later that cabal-install bundled with GHC 8.8.2 is just an rc https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6328#issuecomment-575901090, and figured out that to have cabal-install bootstrapped by GHC 8.8, I'd better wait for the 3.2 release.

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:

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:
