[Haskell-beginners] How to "cabal install" on current Arch/Manjaro ?

[lists0 at freea2a.de]

Hi all,

update:
 compilition was possible with the undocumented flag:
--ghc-options -dynamic

so: 
cabal install cpphs --ghc-options -dynamic

I found it in a reddit-post
(https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/6nlglg/arch_haskell/)

But I'm still not sure, what I have done with ghc and cabal :-(

Greetings Jürgen
