Re: [Haskell-cafe] raspberrypi and ghci

Hi Ben, Cabal also doesn't seem to be supported on raspberrypi?? What is the URL of your group that is porting Haskell to the raspberrypi? Vasili On Sunday, March 8, 2015, Ben Gamari wrote:

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,
