I downloaded the binary and it gave this error:

╰─❯ ./taskell

I've noticed that static binaries of other languages (written in Go / Rust) work well when they're compiled with musl instead of glibc.

I have no experience with haskell but found this: https://github.com/utdemir/ghc-musl

I'll have a look into this

Looks like the Stackage Docker images aren't up to date at the moment, which means I can't build for Linux using that, so this might solve both problems!

@dufferzafar I've tried building a version of 1.11.0 using musl. Could you give it a go and let me know if it works for you?

taskell-1.11.0_x86-64-linux.tar.gz

Had a play around with this some more today and after a couple of hours of trying stuff I didn't get anywhere.

Is there any strong reason to not just install glibc?

Hi, just to update you on this, I am on Alpine Linux using musl as well. Couldn't use the linux binary from Releases but the one in this tar worked fine!

So if it's not a problem, whatever process you used to generate it, it could be used to have a linux_musl tar in subsequent releases if it's not a bother :)

Unfortunately I didn't document how I did it the first time and I couldn't get it to work on a more recent build.

But I'll try again at some point.
