Re: [Haskell] Haskell on Windows instructions - is MinGHC version update needed?

Just weighing in from the LTS side (and I guess MinGHC as well): having a link to 7.8.4 is definitely the right thing to do. LTS 2 will not compile with GHC 7.10 (see: https://github.com/fpco/stackage/issues/378 for more information). On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 2:45 AM Tamar Christina wrote:

Hi Howard,

Ah, I was under the impression that there would be a download link from the LTS section on the download page.

Since there isn’t one I have updated the pull request with a section for Haskell LTS which provides links to 7.8.4.

It will look like https://github.com/Mistuke/hl/blob/update-windows-download-pages/static/mark...

Hi Windows Task Force,

Rather than pointing to just the latest 7.10.1 release, please consider having 7.10.1 and 7.8.4 links (and others if you wish). Haskell LTS 2.3 is designed for GHC-7.8.4. It seems to me that many Windows users would find that an attractive combination in addition to 7.10.1.

Hi Simon,

I have created a pull request to update the download links to 7.10.1 releases.

Fwding to the GHC Windows Task force, who will doubtless know what to do.
