Haskell installation not installing compiler #2664
Description
What happened?
The instructions for a Haskell install indicate that the following:
"packages": [
"stack@latest",
"cabal-install@latest",
"zlib@latest",
"hpack@latest"
]will install GHC. It does not. And it's not clear what the best practice is for a Devbox user:
- install GHC via stack
- try adding "nix aware" flags to stack and cabal
- installing a nix package for ghcup and using that to install GHC
Thanks!
Steps to reproduce
> devbox add stack cabal-install zlib hpack> devbox shell> which ghc> which stack(To verify installation of stack, which seems to work fine.)
