Hi Norman,
I think you are overcomplicating things quite a bit.
1. Build a HEAD (9.3) compiler 2. Setup a normal cabal project to depend on the `ghc` library 3. Use the cabal -w option to point to your HEAD compiler to build the project (`cabal build -w /path/to/head`)
That will work reliably rather than messing around with package databases.
My understanding is that if I do things this way, I give up the Haskell Language Server. I am in the middle of learning a large, unfamiliar API, and the HLS is a lifeline to the documentation. Am I wrong? Is there another fast path to the documentation? Norman
