Hi, Edvard! I generally followed the instructions on https://github.com/tweag/ghc/tree/linear-types#building-from-source , but when running git checkout tweag/linear-types , I got the following error message:
fatal: Not a git repository: ${BASEDIR}/ghc/.git/modules/.arc-linters/arcanist-external-json-linter
I guess this is because my local directory is not named “ghc”, but “ghc- linear”. In my opinion, the repository should not assume that a local copy of it resides in a directory of a certain name. Is this a GHC issue or an issue with your linear-types branch? All the best, Wolfgang Am Mittwoch, den 05.07.2017, 16:20 +0000 schrieb Edvard Hübinette:
Hi Wolfgang,
I've put together a small README for getting this up and running (both for using stack with pre-built Docker images, and from source). It can be found in the repository here: https://github.com/tweag/ghc/tree/lin ear-types.
Hope this will help!
Cheers, Edvard Hübinette
