Re: [Haskell-cafe] Recommended way to install, use and maintain haskell tools on OS X

further more, no ghc dev is currently actively involved in helping maintain the brew ghc/cabal-install/whatever formulas, so generally they are more likely to have problems (though they look like broken when i checked recently) On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 12:27 PM, Bob Ippolito wrote:

ignore all the stuff about haskell platform.

use this http://ghcformacosx.github.io/

How is this better than installing GHC from

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_8_3

and then getting cabal install from

http://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html

The ghcformacosx installs some man pages apparently, and it's just one step; any other advantages?

That's precisely what it is, just quicker and simpler to install as it's one download, there's no build step, and it can help you change your PATH. No technical advantages.
