haste-boot is missing

[roper79]

GHC 8.0.1, Cabal 1.24.0.0 Going according to the instructions: cabal update cabal install haste-compiler Compiles with no problem, but nothing appears in ~/.cabal/bin

GHC 8 isn't supported yet, so I'm a bit surprised you got it to install at all. IIRC the dependencies should prevent that. There were no errors or warnings that looked related?

[roper79]

Build from github fails on:

Resolving dependencies... cabal: Could not resolve dependencies: trying: haste-compiler-0.6.0.0 (user goal) next goal: bin-package-db (dependency of haste-compiler-0.6.0.0) Dependency tree exhaustively searched.

Hackage builds with no issues at all, "just" haste-boot is missing.

Compiled fine for me on Ubuntu 15, but there's no haste-boot. I'll wait for the update.

I have the same problem but I used a local ghc-7.8.4: cabal install --with-ghc $(stack path --compiler-exe) haste-compiler Haste-boot is not in ~/.cabal/bin and if I try with sandboxes they are not in the .cabal-sandbox directory

EDIT: with ghc-7.10.2 it does not work with a sandbox, but it works without.
