"Vasili I. Galchin"
Hello,
I have a B++ pi. I did a "apt-get install haskell-platform. No " ghci"!. So I did a google on this issue. Circa 2013 ghci seemed to be an issue with raspberrypi/arm. What is the current status of "ghci" on the pi/arm??.
With dynamic linking and the LLVM backend GHC 7.8 is quite usable on ARM. Unfortunately, much of the distributions' packaging hasn't been updated to reflect this. Debian builds in experimental (starting with 7.8.20141119-8) now build GHCi on ARM; it may take a while for this to propagate to Raspbian. When I have more bandwidth I'll see if we might be able to start providing some unofficial Debian builds for ARM platforms. Cheers, - Ben
