How can Haskell be compiled to Javascript using GHCJS and Haskell Stack?
I have the current version of Haksell Stack 1.5.1.
I can initialize a GHCJS project with this command: stack new ghcjsSetup ghcjs
Once in the project directory I try following the Stack documentation for GHCJS.
I create a stack.yaml file and edit it to match the example from the documentation so that is looks like this.
resolver: lts-7.19
compiler: ghcjs-0.2.1.9007019_ghc-8.0.1
compiler-check: match-exact
setup-info:
ghcjs:
source:
ghcjs-0.2.1.9007019_ghc-8.0.1:
url: http://ghcjs.tolysz.org/ghc-8.0-2017-02-05-lts-7.19-9007019.tar.gz
sha1: d2cfc25f9cda32a25a87d9af68891b2186ee52f9
Following the documentation further I try to install and boot GHCJS with this command:
stack setup
This command produces an output which ends with an error.

This will not interfere with any system-level installation.

You are missing the libtinfo library which is part of ncurses. Depending on your environment try something like:
sudo apt-get install libtinfo-dev
As an aside, getting all the pieces that ghcjs needs to build successfully is tricky and not well documented as of September 2018. One might hope that as the project matures it will get easier to install, and that a binary package will be produced. Know that you are not the only person who has these issues. It takes some patience and trial-and-error to get ghcjs working right now.
Others have had success using nix, I did not.

I' reading stack document from https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/GUIDE/
In the section of Different databases, it says that
Databases in stack are layered. For example, the database listing we just gave is called a local database. That is layered on top of a snapshot database, which contains the libraries and executables specified in the snapshot itself. Finally, GHC itself ships with a number of libraries and executables, which forms the global database. To get a quick idea of this, we can look at the output of the stack exec -- ghc-pkg list command in our helloworld project:

I did the same experiment on windows, but the results are different:
Create a new project by stack new helloworld
Edit helloworld/src/Lib.hs as following
module Lib
( someFunc
) where
import Acme.Missiles
someFunc :: IO ()
someFunc = launchMissiles
Edit helloworld/package.yaml as following
dependencies:
- base >= 4.7 && < 5
- text
- filepath
- containers
- acme-missiles
Since acme-missiles be not in LTS, so I add a extra-deps: in helloworld/stack.yaml
extra-deps:
- acme-missiles-0.3 # not in the LTS
stack build and success, log as following

You can see that my outputs are different from the document.
The question is:
Why acme-missiles-0.3 is in C:/sr/snapshots/ rather than /helloworld/.stack-work? (Note that, in windows, C:/sr/ be equivalent to ~/.stack)
Also, in the FAQ of the document from https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/faq/, it mentioned that
Where is stack installed and will it interfere with ghc (etc) I already have installed?
Stack itself is installed in normal system locations based on the mechanism you used (see the Install and upgrade page). Stack installs the Stackage libraries in ~/.stack and any project libraries or extra dependencies in a .stack-work directory within each project's directory. None of this should affect any existing Haskell tools at all.
acme-missiles-0.3 is extra dependencies, why in my experiment, it is in ~/.stack rather than .stack-work directory within project's directory?
Thanks.
I created a new project and, as you can see, it even downloaded a brand new build plan for lts-7.4, which as you can see uses ghc-8.0.1.
But when running stack ghci, it built the project with GHC 7.10, and dropped me in a 7.10 ghci shell.

I always relied on the assumption that for every stackage snapshot, stack would use only one version of GHC, am I wrong?
I don't have system-ghc: true in my config, and the faq doesn't mention many other alternatives

I rely on the lts determining the version of ghc in use also for CI, so it's a bit worrying if my assumption doesn't hold (anymore?)
(I'm running stack Version 1.2.0 x86_64 hpack-0.14.0)
This is the output of stack setup
dario#curie /t/foo> stack setup
stack will use a sandboxed GHC it installed
For more information on paths, see 'stack path' and 'stack exec env'
To use this GHC and packages outside of a project, consider using:
stack ghc, stack ghci, stack runghc, or stack exec
I realized that this was due to the faulty way in which I "worked around" this issue:
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/2712
I might open it as another bug report, but it's definitely less important/interesting than fixing #2712
I use Haskell Stack in Windows 10

I found that this messages is because of glib.cabal files bug at glib-0.13.2.2, so when I try to install glib separately, I edit glib.cabal (remove -D___attribute__(A)= option on cpp) and install clearly.
However, when I try to install it using stack, stack install gtk command always takes Hackage one instead of installed glib package.
For short, therefore, my question is, how can I using separately installed glib? Or, is there any way to modify packages .cabal file while installing it, using options or whatever?
Stack lets you use a dependency from a local directory, or a github repo. So feel free to fork the project, do the fixes, maybe even do a PR, and then put this into your stack.yaml under "packages" section:

I have some cabal failures after scaffolding my haskell project using the holy-project.
I don't think the issue is related to that plugin (seems more like general cabal question) because I could reproduce it starting from a standard cabal init. I'd be surprised if the issue is related to SublimeHaskell either as many people seem to be using it.
Here is the cabal file that was generated (I simplified/shortened it a bit):
(the holy-project generates some example source files along)
name: test-holy
version: 0.1.0.0
build-type: Simple
cabal-version: >=1.10
library
exposed-modules: TestHoly
, TestHoly.Swallow
, TestHoly.Coconut
build-depends: base >=4.7 && <4.8
ghc-options: -Wall
hs-source-dirs: src
default-language: Haskell2010
cabal build works
The following command does not work:
$ cabal clean && cabal configure && cabal build --ghc-options="-fforce-recomp -Wall -fno-code"

From what I understand, due to the -fno-code flag (Omit code generation) no object files are generated hence the linker fails. Is that expected? Or should the linker not have been called?
Why am I running that cabal command?
As I said earlier on: I'm using SublimeText to edit my project. It fails on the project-holy generated cabal file with the following message:
Build FAILED
REMAINING STDERR:
Warning: the following files would be used as linker inputs, but linking is not being done: dist/build/TestHoly.dyn_o dist/build/TestHoly/Swallow.dyn_o dist/build/TestHoly/Coconut.dyn_o
ghc: no input files
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.
Through the discussion on SublimeHaskell#158 I followed the suggestion by nh2 to run this cabal command directly (because it's the one used by SublimeHaskell).
I'd appreciate if someone can shed a light on this!

This is a known issue in cabal.
See https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1176
If you don't pass -fforce-recomp you might be ok for incremental checking and only hit the error when you needed to do a clean build.
But absent that, cabal just doesn't know what to do when ghc doesn't actually compile things...
is there a GUI package that is still up-to-date?
I tried installing both wxHaskell and gtk2hs today and both fail on dependencies I just cannot solve (wxHaskell cannot find some wxWidget libs and while trying the glade tutorial gtk2hs fails on a missing pkg-config libglade2-0 I installed too).
I guess it's just some problem with me not understanding the linux/cabal/package install things good enough but is there a up-to-date tutorial how to get started (install) some GUI lib for Haskell somewhere around?
Here are the errors:

This is really frustrating me - maybe someone can help me here - thank you!
I am running 12.04 and everything works fine for me.
Are you sure you have libglade2-dev installed ? That should fix it.
Coming from ArchLinux i had the same problem at first when i didn't know there were separate dev libraries, i don't remember having to do this in arch.
