I am trying to cross-compile cabal-install for ARM. It has come down to installing the prerequisite packages one-by-one. I was able to configure, build and install some of the packages by following this page:
How do I install dependencies when cross compiling haskell code?
Until I got to the network package where I got this error after ./Setup build:
Setup: The program hsc2hs is required but it could not be found
After this I added the
--with-hsc2hs=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf-hsc2hs
switch to my configure, but this time I ran into
/opt/ghc-cross-7.8.3/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf-hsc2hs: line 29: /opt/ghc-cross-7.8.3/lib/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf-ghc-7.8.3/bin/hsc2hs: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Apparently my arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf-hsc2hs tool is not running on my host. Why is this happening? And why, for instance, arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf-ghc is working but not hsc2hs? And lastly, is there workaround for installing my original network package?

I'm trying to follow along with the Plutus Pioneer lectures, and I'm getting this error
My system:
Ubuntu Linux Docker image running on MacOS.
I installed the Haskell package on the image from here: https://www.haskell.org/platform/linux.html
using this line in my Dockerfile: RUN apt-get install -y haskell-platform
This seems to install Cabal version 2.4.
When I clone the code repository for the lectures: https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-pioneer-program and then go to the week01 directory and try cabal build like in the lecture, I get dependencies not found errors. The first missing dependency is 'aeson', which seems to install if I run cabal install aeson.
The subsequent build attempts fail on dependency 'base' being the wrong version.
Then I thought maybe if I update Cabal to version 3.4 it might help, so I tried cabal install cabal-install, but this also has errors:
Theexception was:ExitFailure (-9)
This may be due to an out-of-memory condition.
So I googled some more and tried this command line: cabal install --ghc-options="+RTS -M600M" -j1 cabal-install from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/46148345/52236
This seems to get further, but now I'm at this error:
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 8.6.5 for x86_64-unknown-linux): heap overflow
If anyone has any idea how to fix this it would be appreciated. Do I need to add more RAM to my Docker Ubuntu image? It currently has 1.9GB of memory and 1.7GB free.
thanks,
m
I fixed this by increasing the RTS param:
cabal install --ghc-options="+RTS -M1000M" -j1 cabal-install
Well, actually it compiled everything, but cabal --version still says 2.4, not 3.4. There was this warning too:
Warning: could not create a symlink in /root/.cabal/bin for cabal because the
file exists there already but is not managed by cabal. You can create a
symlink for this executable manually if you wish. The executable file has been
installed at /root/.cabal/bin/cabal
I am trying to install wx by cabal install wx
Configuring wxc to build against wxWidgets 3.0
setup: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing C library: wx_gtk2u_webview-3.0
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install :
wx-0.92.0.0 depends on wxc-0.92.0.0 which failed to install.
wxc-0.92.0.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
wxcore-0.92.0.0 depends on wxc-0.92.0.0 which failed to install.
but I have following files in /usr/lib :
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0.so
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0.so.0.2.0
I have also tried cabal install --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/lib/ wx but to no avail.
I have also tried all the suggestions in cabal install wx Missing C library
I am on archlinux and I have both wxgtk-3.0 and wxgtk-2.8 multilib and normal versions. I also tried reinstalling them.
I just ran into the same problem on Arch; when I tried running cabal with --verbose=3, it looked like libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0 was present, but it was complaining about libwebkitgtk-1.0 being missing. After I installed the webkitgtk2 package, which provides libwebkitgtk-1.0, wxHaskell installed with no problems.
Try "sudo apt-get install libwxgtk-webview3.0-dev". It worked for me.
I am trying to install packages from haskell's Hackage using Cabal.
In particular, I am trying to download the gloss package:
cabal install gloss
Comes up with this error:
binary-0.7.1.0 failed during the building phase.
The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
bmp-1.2.5.2 depends on binary-0.7.1.0 which failed to install.
gloss-1.8.1.1 depends on binary-0.7.1.0 which failed to install.
I also tried binary-0.6.0.0. Because cabal install is not working, I am trying:
runhaskell Setup configure
runhaskell Setup build
runhaskell Setup install
...in the directory of the package, and I get the same error for every package:
Setup: Error: Could not find module: Data.Binary with any suffix: ["hi"] in
the search path: ["dist/build"]
I am also having trouble installing the newest version of Cabal.
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.3
Mac OSX 10.8 on MacBook Pro Retina
The binary package fails to install on latest versions of osx because osx uses clang instead of gcc, and 'gcc' is usually just a symlink to clang. gcc is used in the pre-processor stage (haskell supports c-like macros) but clang does not support all the features for the pre-processor stage that gcc supports.
To know if this is your problem, type 'gcc' in the terminal. If it says 'clang' somewhere, then this is the issue.
The solution is to get gcc, and replace the symlink to gcc with real gcc. Using 'runhaskell' will still have the same issue. For the most part, you should never try to install packages without cabal, it is by far the easiest way.
This is not an answer.
If you have downloaded package binary-0.7.1.0, you can untar it first, and go into that folder, and run
cabal configure
cabal build
cabal install
There must be more error message, such as line number, but I didn't see it.
hi i'm trying to install, (without having to update or install the latest compiler),reactive-banana-wx and one of the requirement's are failing
cabal install reactive-banana-wx
and heres the error
Configuring wxc-0.90.0.4...

wxc-0.90.0.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

when i try to cabal install wxcore ,wx or wxc they all say failed and point towards wxc being required.
here's the error
cabal install wxc

Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 7.0.4, for Haskell 98, stage 2 booted by GHC version 7.0.4
I've got the same error trying to install phooey with ghc 7.4.1 on Debian tonight. The reason is a bug in the package wxc-0.90.0.4 and it should affect all wxHaskell-based packages. You can fix it, there is no need to downgrade your wxc package...
The easiest way to reproduce it is to do
cabal install wxc
or
cabal install glade
It might be a good idea to make sure that all prerequisites are in place, before you do it. wxc depends on a number of cabal and Linux packages and all of them should be installed and compiled... I did it in the most stupid way possible, just by running
cabal install wxc
and reading error messages which it spills out. This sweetie usually tells you what it wants... For instance, if it complains about cabal package x, just do cabal install x. If it complains about Linux package y, then use your Linux package manager and install the development version of this package, which is called normally lib<y>-dev in Debian. So, for instance, if
cabal install wxc
gives you an error saying that package gtk+2.0 is missing, you want to do
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
The same story with cairo, glade2 and other GTK-related libraries
When you are green with all prerequisites, you want to install wxWidgets-2.9, which is currently in the Development stage... so, it doesn't have any binaries for Linux and you should build it yourself. Download the source code from wxWidgets website and build it. It is pretty easy to do, just:
untar/unzip the source code to your favorite directory
run ./config
run ./make
If you are on wxc-0.90.0.4, at this moment you should encounter our little bug... To keep the long story short, it is in the file eljpen.cpp, which you can find in
~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/wxc/0.90.0.4/wxc-0.90.0.4.tar.gz
Open the archive, go to the line 159 in the file and replace *_ref = NULL; with _ref = NULL or anything else what makes more sense. Then recreate the archive in the same place with the fixed eljpen.cpp file in it.
run ./make
It should work now.
run sudo make install (normally, you should have root privileges to insatll wxWidgets library...).
after it is done try to do
cabal install wx
again. It should be working now. I guess, after that you can enjoy your reactive-banana-wx, wxHaskell, phooey, etc.
PS http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3576397&group_id=73133&atid=536845. Why didn't I find it earlier? :/
I'v solved this problem on Lubuntu 12.10 so:
sudo cabal info wx
Synopsis: wxHaskell
Versions available: 0.11.1.2, 0.12.1.4, 0.12.1.5, 0.12.1.6, 0.13.2,
0.13.2.1, 0.13.2.3, 0.90, 0.90.0.1 (and 11 others)
I picked out different versions of wxHaskell, but only 0.13.2.3 was right.
sudo cabal install wx-0.13.2.3
...and everything has compiled and installed. Then I could install:
sudo cabal install reactive-banana-wx -fbuildExamples
That's no depends on the version of your Glasgow Haskell Compiler or the sort of your Linux.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to install cairo on Windows!
I need it for Haskell Charts, but when I follow setup instructions and get to running:
cabal install gtk
I get this error:
Linking dist/setup-wrapper\setup.exe ...
Configuring glib-0.12.2...

If I go to cairo site, they don't have anywhere any kind of setup. Just a bunch of dlls that I don't know what to do with (how to make Haskell see them).
Any help appreciated, as I've been trying to install the damn thing for hours!
You need to download the all-in-one bundle available here. You can discover this link yourself by visiting http://www.gtk.org/ and clicking "Download", then "Windows (32-bit)". Extract it to a directory that doesn't include spaces, and add that directory to your PATH. You will also need to cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools before you attempt to cabal install gtk.
These instructions can also be found on the gtk2hs website.
Since the answers on this page have been posted, GTK has stopped publishing Windows binaries. A third party compiles up-to-date dlls here: http://www.tarnyko.net/dl/gtk.htm
I'm not 100% sure, but you might need to do
cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
before you can install gtk itself.
