Workspace rules (GHC binary distributions)

ghc_bindist

ghc_bindist(name, version, target, compiler_flags, ghcopts, haddock_flags, repl_ghci_args,
            cabalopts, locale, register)

Create a new repository from binary distributions of GHC.

The repository exports two targets:

a bin filegroup containing all GHC commands,
a threaded-rts CC library.

These targets are unpacked from a binary distribution specific to your platform. Only the platforms that have a “binary package” on the GHC download page are supported.

Examples

In WORKSPACE file:

load("@rules_haskell//haskell:ghc_bindist.bzl", "ghc_bindist")

# This repository rule creates @ghc repository.
ghc_bindist(
  name    = "ghc",
  version = "8.2.2",
)
