I am on 10.10.2 and so far it works. I will do more testing this evening.
Issues
- With this version I still see bug https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10053. Do you see this on your machine?
- As I've noted in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9586 I don't think this ticket (BPP/FTP proposal) should be closed as it says "We are currently constructing a poll and summaries of two possible plans
of action that will go out in the next day or so. Based on the results
of that poll, which will likely run until the 28th or so, to give folks a
couple of weeks to respond, Simon Peyton Jones and Simon Marlow will
come to a decision on how we are going to proceed for 7.10." But this issue doesn't show on https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-7.10.1and since the issue still appears to be open the referenced Status page
doesn't give an indication of the true status of the release. Changing the status of this ticket to open would make the 7.10.1 Status page more accurate wrt where we are on 7.10.1
- Is there a preferred compiler to be used, i.e. Apple gcc or gnu gcc? If the former perhaps the installation instructions should suggest something like "export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH" ?
- It might be good to document how to remove previous versions of RC2. I did the following:
- rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.10.0.20150123/package.conf.d
- bash-3.2$ rm -fr /Users/gcolpitts/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-7.10.0.20150123/package.conf.d
- bash-3.2$ rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
- bash-3.2$ rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
- I wanted to install in /usr/local/bin and didn't follow your instructions exactly. After unzipping and changing into the directory I did the following
- export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
- ./configure
- make install
