test build of current ghc-7.8
Hi, I did a test build [1] of the current ghc-7.8 branch for Fedora 21 devel, which I think should also install to Fedora 20. I put the packages for x86_64, i386 and armv7hl into the yum repos under http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/petersen/ghc-7.7/ I haven't tested this latest build yet but wanted to announce its availability. Let me know if you hit any packaging problems with it. Jens ps I also upload the ghc-7.8.0.20140201 src tarball to http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc/ if you want to use to build yourself. pps Next time I will build it in copr.fedoraproject.org which creates yum repos for one (like OBS).

I’m surprised that it worked for you. Did not you not hit http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8725?

Does that also affect 7.8? I see the report is for a 7.9 snapshot.

yes, 7.9 and 7.8 are not so different yet. But I think I’ll resolve this by making the Debian directory structure a bit more standard; much easier than hacking the build system. I’ll make sure it works and then close the bug.

different issue: It seems that "hpc" is build dynamically, but installed to the binpath (/usr/bin) instead of ghclibdir (/usr/lib/ghc/bin), so the linking against the haskell library via rpath does not work.
