Gentoo supports the Haskell Platform!
Unmasking GHC 6.10.4 and the Haskell Platform
Currently (2009-08-02) GHC 6.10.4 and a few libraries are hard masked, meaning you will have to p.unmask yourself before installing. This is because we're still updating the portage packages to get full GHC 6.10.4 support.
echo dev-lang/ghc >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
echo dev-haskell/parallel >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
echo dev-haskell/haddock >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
echo app-admin/haskell-updater >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
As the haskell-platform depends on this recent GHC version, you'll need to unmask it too;
echo dev-haskell/haskell-platform >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
Don't forget that these packages are also ~keyworded.
Install
Now, to install, run:
emerge haskell-platform
This will pull the GHC compiler, Cabal, and all the libraries included in HP. If you want haddock documentation, set your USE="doc". If you also want profiling libraries, set USE="profile".
Feedback
Got any feedback for the packages above? Let us know!
You'll find us in #gentoo-haskell @ freenode, or send your comments to haskell@gentoo.org.
