Wrap each hie executable with the ghc it was built with

Open ixmatus opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

This change wraps each HIE executable with the GHC version it was built with so that the HIE server can run without a globally installed GHC.

Does it need GHC executable to work?

@domenkozar yes.

isn't that a nixpkgs task ? It caused me problems for other haskell problems and the python ecosystem does wrap binaries.

Nixpkgs doesn't know when GHC has to be available at runtime.

@ixmatus any chance to wrap this up? :)

@domenkozar I might be able to get to it this weekend. I don't use HIE anymore because the emacs integration seems pretty busted for me ATM and I haven't invested any time in figuring out why.
