[Haskell-cafe] GHC / macports / Big Sur

[Sean Matthews]

It may be that someone has already asked this question, but I am having a
problem (= it does not work) installing GHC using macports.
Pure vanilla Mac/macports, with a few standard installed packages, but
deliberately as few manual interventions as possible.

Does the group have any advice?

Thanks,

Sean Matthews

PS this is what macports says:

r.packages.macports.org/stack

--->  Attempting to fetch stack-2.5.1_0.darwin_20.x86_64.tbz2 from
https://cph.dk.packages.macports.org/stack

--->  Building stack

Error: Failed to build stack: command execution failed

Error: See
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_stack/stack/main.log
for details.

Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.

Error: Processing of port ghc failed

--->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:

  pinentry-mac has the following notes:

    If you previously didn't have pinentry or gpg-agent installed  and

    pinentry-mac has been installed as a dependency of gpg-agent,  you don't

    need to do anything to use pinentry-mac.



    If you want to switch to the GTK2, ncurses or Qt4 based pinentry
program,

    please install pinentry with the correct use flags and  follow the

    instructions below substituting the pinentry-mac program  path with

    /opt/local/bin/pinentry.





    If you previously had pinentry and gpg-agent installed and would  like
to

    switch to pinentry-mac, you will have to set  it as your pinentry
program in

    $HOME/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.



    Add the following line to the mentioned file:

    pinentry-program

    /Applications/MacPorts/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac





    Be sure to comment previous "pinentry-program" lines, for example:



    pinentry-program SAMPLE



    becomes



    #pinentry-program SAMPLE





    Afterwards, run

    killall -HUP gpg-agent



    or simply log out and back in again.
