Cannnot compile

[jordi-petit]

Hello,

I cannot compile argon with stack nor cabal on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.20. Can you provide some hints as what to do?

I am attaching the output of the proposed installation commands:

> stack install argon

Hi Jordi, it's been a while since I updated Argon. It's built for older versions of GHC and it actually depends on its internals to parse the Haskell source code. So my guess is that it would require some updating. At the moment I cannot allocate any time to this, but if you create a PR I will be happy to review it.

Hi Michele, for the moment I got an old binary that works well. I will try to dig into cabal or stack and see if I can tell you something.

Sounds good!
