Hi, shouldn't haskellPackages.developPackage prevent errrors like Missing (or bad) header file: zlib.h when running the project with cabal. I added a flake to https://github.com/haskellfoundation/error-message-index. But trying when trying to run it i run into this problem. This is the flake.nix

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";
    utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, utils }:
    utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system:
      let pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; };
      in {
        devShell = pkgs.haskellPackages.developPackage {
          root = ./message-index/.;
          modifier = drv:
            pkgs.haskell.lib.overrideCabal drv (attrs: {
              buildTools = (attrs.buildTools or [ ]) ++ [
                pkgs.haskellPackages.cabal-install
              ];
            });
        };
      });
}

Is there any way I can update this to force the use of ghc 9.10.x?

$ ls `nix eval --raw nixpkgs#haskell.compiler.ghc910.doc.outPath`/share/doc/ghc/html
Haddock  index.html  libraries  users_guide

Nvm, found it, it seems easy.

Also, in case I use different versions of ghc as dependencies for some project development, I might as well have the docs disabled, since they do use quite some space.

Though admittedly, I have auto-optimise-store = true which probably hardlinked a lot of duplicated doc files across versions.

I was trying to browse docs locally, in case I don't have internet. I would like to host a local static server for those files at `http://ghc-docs.localdomain/{latest,ghc910,...}'

Or even better... have your own hoogle instance. Lately the public hoogle is quite unreliable and slow.

I think it would help the infra that if we NixOS people can self-host and share the burden by decentralizing it.

Uh, that’s pretty easy.
