Re: downloading ghc head version

Yes, it is working with deb10. All good. Not sure why haskell/actions/setup is still using the deb9 URL. Thanks for your help. On Tue, 1 Feb 2022 at 17:29, Matthew Pickering wrote:

Right, it appears the problem was we stopped producing the deb9 bindists due to deb9 being EOL.

Is your problem sorted now?

I replaced deb9 with deb10 in the URL that ghcup install was using earlier in the CI and it seems to work. The following command installed ghc successfully:

$ ghcup install ghc -u https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/ghc-x86_64-de... head $ ghc-head --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 9.3.20220130

Maybe the deb9 build has been retired now? It worked once in our CI a few days and then never worked.

Ah, nice. That looks like a useful repo. Thanks!

I tried the nix expression:

nix run -f https://github.com/mpickering/ghc-artefact-nix/archive/master.tar.gz ghcHEAD

on my debian linux, but it is trying to download the fedora tar from https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/ghc-x86_64-fe... . ghc-head-from.sh also downloads from the same link. Is it supposed to work on debian as well? The nix expression as well as ghc-head-from.sh finally failed with the followinf error on my machine:

utils/ghc-cabal/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-cabal: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I looked at https://github.com/mpickering/ghc-artefact-nix/blob/master/gitlab-artifact.n..., but it does not seem to have a debian x86_64 config.

I will look tomorrow but see where ghc-head-from gets the bindist from

It seems the latest artifacts download link (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/artifacts/...) at GHC gitlab is not working.

If this is not the right place to ask this, can someone point me to the right place?

Hi,

I am trying to set up a CI for ghc head version. I am not sure what is the official supported method to install a nightly/head version of GHC. haskell/actions/setup on github seems to support it via ghcup. But it almost always fails, I saw it succeeding once till now. It tries to download it from the following URL, but fails with 404 not found:

downloading: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/ghc-x86_64-de...

I tried this link in the browser and I get the same error. Is that the right way to install it? If not, can someone suggest a reliable way to get the head version, other than building it myself?

Thanks, Harendra
