[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: jhc-0.8.1

[Krzysztof Skrzętnicki]

Hmm, I'll give it a try, thanks!
As for the other errors for sure there is missing Binary instance for
strict ByteStrings in newest binary package.
Another one is instance for Show (Identity a) which in turn needed to be
commented out because it appeared in newer version of some other package,
don't know which one.
Lastly I get a lot of errors caused by mixing library versions. I *think*
that the problem is that, unlike Cabal, the Makefile specifies -package foo
without specific versions. The result is that, given the fact that I have
more than 1 version of many libraries installed, it tries to build with two
different versions of same library, or so would it seem: 1 is dependency of
other library, the other is from -package specification. I think this is
the case.
This is why I asked for specific versions of all the libraries involved.
The idea was to simply specify *all* of them on command line and/or
Makefile.

Right now I don't have time to replicate the errors, but I will try again
building jhc later.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
