[Haskell-cafe] problems with derive/TH

[Thomas Hartman]

adding OPTIONS -XStandaloneDeriving made no difference

The following patch fixed the problem. (Well, at least the mud program
compiles. I haven't actually tried using it yet.)

thartman at thartman-laptop:~/mud>darcs whatsnew
{
hunk ./World.hs 50
-    deriving Eq
+    -- deriving Eq
+
+instance Eq (World TVar) where
+  World a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 == World b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8 =
+      a1 == b1 && a2 == b2 && a3 == b3 && a4 == b4 && a5 == b5 && a6
== b6 && a7 == b7 && a8 == b8
hunk ./World.hs 202
+

hunk ./mud.cabal 9
-                    network, unix, template-haskell
+                    network, unix, template-haskell, containers, bytestring
}
thartman at thartman-laptop:~/mud>darcs commit

I'm posting a patch here because when I darcs pushed I got

darcs: Pushing to http URLs is not supported.
You may be able to hack this to work using DARCS_APPLY_HTTP

still very new to darcs. is there something else I should have done?

Thanks to the cafe, as always!
