Just to note a problem I encountered on Windows, which may well be user error. I unpacked the mingw tarball and added the bin directory from it to my path. cabal install then failed with "cabal.exe: does not exist" after producing some other output. Running with -v3 suggested that the actual problem was that the ld on my path couldn't read the .o files produced by GHC. I changed my path to also include the mingw\bin directory from the tarball, and then all was fine. On 03/02/2014 22:35, Austin Seipp wrote:
We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.8.1:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.1-rc1/ http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.8.1-rc1/html/
This includes the source tarball and bindists for Windows, Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, and Solaris, on x86 and x86_64. There is a signed copy of the SHA256 hashes available (attached) using my GPG key (keyid 0x3B58D86F).
We plan to make the 7.8.1 RC2 release quite soon, as we're aware of some existing issues.
Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!
