 lxsameer | what's the package name? | 17:39:18 |
 maralorn | In reply to @lxsameer:matrix.org
hey folks, do nixpkgs contain the webassembly backend of GHC? Not really. no. | 17:39:57 |
 Uraraka ~ Ochaco | normally I just do (builtins.getFlake "gitlab:haskell-wasm/ghc-wasm-meta?host=gitlab.haskell.org").packages.x86_64-linux.all_9_12 in a shell.nix | 17:40:32 |
| Uraraka ~ Ochaco | a little patching later then I have wasm32-wasi-cabal, wasm32-wasi-ghc etc | 17:41:13 |
| lxsameer | ahhh, so that repo exports whatever is necessary for the wasm stuff. cool | 17:42:39 |
| Uraraka ~ Ochaco | pretty much good enough for most stuff | 17:42:57 |
| maralorn | There is this https://github.com/ners/nix-wasm | 17:43:10 |
| maralorn | And what peri posted should be enough to play around | 17:43:47 |
| Uraraka ~ Ochaco | I couldn't figure out the benefit to that over ghc-wasm-meta | 17:44:12 |
| Uraraka ~ Ochaco | it imports ghc-wasm-meta and does some flakey things | 17:44:30 |
| Uraraka ~ Ochaco | maybe it's to make things nix-buildable?
either way a full install with prefix will still build manually | 17:45:04 |
| lxsameer | Peri, i never tried any wasm related stuff on haskell. is it ok to use any prelude? | 17:45:13 |
| Uraraka ~ Ochaco | I presume so, everything non-network-related seemed to work for me | 17:45:35 |
| Uraraka ~ Ochaco | I wrote a reflex-dom app with it | 17:46:07 |
