Re: [Haskell-cafe] [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.8.4 is now available
I don't see any windows binaries listed; are they there, elsewhere?

Not a Windows user, but if I recall correctly as today the way to install Haskell on Windows is via Chocolatey: https://www.haskell.org/platform/windows.html

In the Haskell world the numbers are reversed [1]: Linux-based developers lead the pack. There are comparatively few Windows-based devs and even fewer willing to dedicate their free time to maintain the GHC for Windows build. [1] https://taylor.fausak.me/2019/11/16/haskell-survey-results/#s1q2
Thanks - yes, but this is for Platform, not the current GHC. Platform is several versions older than the current GHC being announced below. I am not sure if one can update the GHC, with an older Platform installation? ---------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Haskell-Cafe <haskell-cafe-bounces@haskell.org> On Behalf Of Francesco Ariis Sent: Saturday, July 18, 2020 8:31 AM To: haskell-cafe@haskell.org Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.8.4 is now available Il 18 luglio 2020 alle 12:50 Gregory Guthrie ha scritto:

Hi Gregory, Windows 64-bit binary is here on the list [1]: ghc-8.8.4-x86_64-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz [1]: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_8_8_4.html#windows64 Regards, Takenobu On Sat, Jul 18, 2020 at 9:51 PM Gregory Guthrie <guthrie@miu.edu> wrote:

Thank you - I didn't recognize it!! Very helpful. Can I install this and have it work with Haskell Platform, which installs 8.6.5? ---------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.8.4 is now available Hi Gregory, Windows 64-bit binary is here on the list [1]: ghc-8.8.4-x86_64-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz [1]: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_8_8_4.html#windows64 Regards, Takenobu
I'm not sure about the combination of ghc 8.8.4 and haskell-platform 8.6.5 on Windows. Perhaps, it couldn't perform. There are several ways to use ghc 8.8.4 and packages: * Use cabal-install for ghc 8.8.4 [1] * Wait stackage's LTS for ghc-8.8.4 [2] Does anyone have a better way?
