That looks like GHC installation issue. Make sure that you have a working installation of GHC.

I have it 8.0.2. think about manjaro like arch

[niko-yanev]

fixed: the line for cabal should say cabal install usb cmdargs primitive text vector and then make && sudo make install. Now i must figure how to bind the L 1-4 keys, as the 4 of these have the same keycode:

L1 l2 l3 l4
"(Scheme function)"
    m:0x10 + c:248
    Mod2 + NoSymbol

[niko-yanev]

Also forgot to mention that MX keys acts like media buttons and M1...M4 and M9..M12 are not working at all. Is there a way to make them work, or assign some codes to these? Thanks a lot

[niko-yanev]

There was a firmware upgrade recently, maybe they mess some stuff. Is there a way to make L keys to work? Thanks

Hello there.

I got the same problem (exactly the same output as the OP) and I'm currently on Antergos (Arch Linux) and also have ghc 8.0.2. How did you fix the build @gericom-hummer ? I tried cabal install usb cmdargs primitive text vector but the package were already installed on my side.

Thanks :)

@gericom-hummer I'm not using an Apex keyboard anymore, so I can't test the utility well. However, in order to make different keys work, you need to properly install the 90-apex.hwdb file, which assigns unique keycodes to each hardware key. Then these keycodes are translated into X11 keycodes, which can be bound to actions via xbindkeys or a similar utility.

[niko-yanev]

Try to override with force install option

Arch user, I made a clean chroot, wherein only base, base-devel, ghc, libusb, cabal-install, git, and pkg-config were installed, cloned ApexCtl, ran

cabal update cabal install usb cmdargs

with the following output:

[root@AstroBox ApexCtl]# cabal update Config file path source is default config file. Config file /root/.cabal/config not found.

and then make, which failed, with the following output:

This may not be the most incredibly helpful comment in the world as I'm not entirely familiar with Haskell but would it perhaps be possible to compile Main.hs using ghc -dynamic Main.hs per The Arch Wiki and manually copy the configs to their required directories?

Edit: Curse my love of skimming. Again, per the link above:

This also causes issues with Cabal trying to use the default static linking. To force dynamic linking in Cabal, edit ~/.cabal/config and add the line executable-dynamic: True.

This fixed the issue for me, running Arch.
