Please use Stack. We recommend [you download and use Stack](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/blob/release/doc/install_and_upgrade.md) instead of using MinGHC - it's what all the MinGHC authors do. The MinGHC approach to installing both GHC and MSYS has been adopted by Stack and Stack provides some additional benefits: * Easier to upgrade to newer GHC versions * Support for working with multiple GHC versions without switching environments * Simple upgrade procedure for Stack itself * Isolated environment that avoids contaminating your `PATH` variable For more information on using Stack, please [read the Stack guide](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/tree/release/doc/GUIDE.md). One note: when using Stack, you need to make a few changes to how you call some tools outside of a project: * `stack ghc -- ...` to compile files * `stack runghc -- ...` to interpret files * `stack exec -- ...` to run arbitrary commands ## Legacy MinGHC installers This project provides a Windows installer with: * [GHC](https://www.haskell.org/ghc/), so you can write Haskell code. * [Stack](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack#readme), a modern build tool for Haskell. * [MSYS](http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS), so packages with configure scripts (notably [network](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/network)) compile. * [Cabal](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/), an older but still commonly used Haskell build tool. It _does not_ provide all the packages included with the [Haskell Platform](https://www.haskell.org/platform/), but it _does_ provide an environment where you can install those packages. Some require [installing c libraries](docs/InstallingCLibs.md). ## Using the Legacy Installer * [**Download installer with GHC 7.10.2 (32-bit)**](https://github.com/fpco/minghc/releases/download/2015-12-04/minghc-7.10.2-i386.exe) * [**Download installer with GHC 7.10.2 (64-bit)**](https://github.com/fpco/minghc/releases/download/2015-12-04/minghc-7.10.2-x86_64.exe) * [**Download installer with GHC 7.8.4 (32-bit)**](https://github.com/fpco/minghc/releases/download/2015-12-04/minghc-7.8.4-i386.exe) * [**Download installer with GHC 7.8.4 (64-bit)**](https://github.com/fpco/minghc/releases/download/2015-12-04/minghc-7.8.4-x86_64.exe) You may wish to also check the [Github latest releases page](https://github.com/fpco/minghc/releases/latest). To use MinGHC, download and run the installer. There are two options you may wish to modify: * "Add programs to PATH" - select this if you want to make this version of GHC the standard one you use for general development. It will modify your `%PATH%` environment variable so the MinGHC installed copies of `ghc` and `cabal` are used by default. * "Add switcher to PATH" - select this if you want to use a different GHC normally, but occasionally switch to this version. After installation, type `minghc-7.8.3` at a command prompt to temporarily add the MinGHC copies of `ghc` and `cabal`. _Caveats:_ * The `network` library doesn't work well with [Cygwin](https://cygwin.com/). Hence, it is not recommended that you use `cabal install` in a Cygwin terminal. Use Command Prompt (`cmd.exe`) or Windows PowerShell instead. ### Older installer links * [GHC 7.6.3 (32-bit)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.fpcomplete.com/minghc/minghc-7.6.3.exe) * [GHC 7.4.2 (32-bit)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.fpcomplete.com/minghc/minghc-7.4.2.exe) * [GHC 7.2.2 (32-bit)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.fpcomplete.com/minghc/minghc-7.2.2.exe) ## Motivation Before [stack](haskellstack.org), there were two ways to get GHC on Windows, straight from the [GHC distribution](https://www.haskell.org/ghc/) and using the [Haskell Platform](https://www.haskell.org/platform/). The GHC distribution is hard to unpack (`.xv` files are not Windows friendly), doesn't setup the `%PATH%`, lacks Cabal and cannot build the `network` library on its own. The Haskell Platform is easy to install and comes with more libraries, but still won't build the `network` library and usually lags the GHC release by months. This installer is the GHC distribution with all the issues above fixed. ## Building Users of MinGHC installers do not need to build it themselves. Below are instructions for anyone who wants to contribute to future installers. ### System Dependencies You need NSIS installed: * Download [NSIS 3.0b2](http://nsis.sourceforge.net/), install it, and place the installation directory on your `PATH`. * Patch NSIS with the **large strings build for 3.0b2** found among its [special builds](http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Special_Builds). (The patch is applied by copying the files in the patch archive over top the NSIS installation.) ### Building Installers Creating installers requires a two-step process: 1) build the installer-generation script and then 2) run the script to create installers. 1. To build the installer-generation script, run `stack build`. 2. To execute the installer generator, run `stack exec minghc-generate`. By default, the installer generator will create an installer for the most recent GHC release (32-bit). You can build installers for other official releases by providing a version number and possibly `--arch64` to use 64-bit GHC. For example, the following will build an older release as 64-bit. > stack exec minghc-generate -- 7.8.4 --arch64 The resulting installer can be found in the `.build` directory.
