running `cabal install pandoc-sidenote` fails on ubuntu server 20.04
note: downloading the repo and running stack build succeeds, so at a guess the dependency specifications for the cabal package are out of date (but my Haskell ecosystem knowledge is nonexistent)
I'm trying to get pandoc-sidenote running on a clean Ubuntu Server 20.04
intermediate dependency installs I did:
-
apt install ruby -
apt install cabal-install
Following the instructions on the readme, I ran cabal install pandoc-sidenote and got the following build log (build errors at the bottom):
$ cabal install pandoc-sidenote
Warning: The install command is a part of the legacy v1 style of cabal usage.
Please switch to using either the new project style and the new-install
command or the legacy v1-install alias as new-style projects will become the
default in the next version of cabal-install. Please file a bug if you cannot
replicate a working v1- use case with the new-style commands.

pandoc-sidenote-0.19.0.0-J3Z8QpAdObg8D597w1LrMQ depends on
pandoc-sidenote-0.19.0.0 which failed to install.
I am wholly unfamiliar with Haskell development, and appreciate any guidance available.
Just stumbled upon this problem.
@jez, how about releasing pre-compiled binaries using GitHub Actions ?
Hey @bocajnotnef, @mvsoom, did you guys manage to get a working debian-amd64 binary of pandoc-sidenote v0.22.1 ? If so, I'd be interested to get it, or to reproduce the procedure you followed. Cheers
Hi ngirad,
I ran into too many issues and spun up a VM on an x64 machine instead. (Notably, I was also working on Manjaro as well.)
I know the Haskell compiler group had said they were near a working arm64 compiler, which ideally would solve much of the packaging problems, but I haven't been monitoring their progress very closely.
I'll double check my pinebook to verify that I didn't get pandoc working--if I'm misremembering I'll be sure to post what steps I can recover.

Hey @bocajnotnef, thanks for the heads up ! In case you're interested I managed to compile it manually and made a deb package here. That's far from ideal but hey...
@jez, I did try to leverage Github Actions, take a look at https://github.com/ngirard/pandoc-sidenote/actions if you will.
The compilation runs fine (e.g. the Haskell CI workflow just works), but I ran into trouble when trying to upload the artefacts (using the Release workflow).
Hopefully somebony can take it from here, I'm unlikely to devote more time to it soon.
@jez This thread looks kinda dead - but I'm also having lots of problems installing pandoc-sidenote for use in github actions. Would you want me to take a crack at improving CI to build binary artifacts for linux?
Try: cabal install --ghc-options=-dynamic pandoc-sidenote
