Hi Henning,
To install: cabal update && cabal install hlint
Fails for me, because of the base-4 dependency. - I'm still using GHC-6.8.2. Can HLint suggest view-pattern-free expressions, such that the program also runs on GHC-6.8 ? :-)
HLint is written using view-patterns so requires GHC 6.10 to compile it. After you have it compiled its just a standard Haskell binary, so can be run on any Haskell code and will never suggest view-patterns anyway. Alas compiling without GHC 6.10 is not possible, but if you can get a binary from elsewhere it should run on your machine (subject to cabal configure stuff being set appropriately, which I don't understand...). Thanks Neil
