It seems that `fltkhs` doesn't support Cabal 2.0, and [this github issue](https://github.com/deech/fltkhs/issues/38) tells me this might not get fixed anytime soon. Is there an up-to-date way of reproducing the issue that I could use? Preferably one that doesn't involve `stack`, simply because I want to hook a custom-built GHC directly from git into the build so I can play with some things and cherry-pick selected changes, and this isn't trivial with stack. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12506#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
