Re: [eclipsefp-develop] GHC 7 support in Scion

[JP M. <jpm...@gm...>]

I've pulled your changes to scion, and fixed the cabal file because
some conditionals were wrong for GHC 6.12, so now with your changes
it's still building properly on GHC 6.12
If in a couple of days the new dependent packages have not been
uploaded by the maintainers, I suppose we could upload them ourselves,
if it's only a few changes in the cabal file...

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] GHC 7 support in Scion

[JP M. <jpm...@gm...>]

I suppose you just mail the maintainers marked on hackage and/or the
last person to have uploaded the package. Send them the updated cabal
file, they'll be grateful.

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] GHC 7 support in Scion

[Alejandro S. M. <tr...@gm...>]

I haven't notified the maintainers of the packages. Is there any
correct/formal way to do this, or should I just mail the maintainers that
appear in Hackage?
I uploaded my changes into a forked repo in https://github.com/serras/scion.
I also uploaded the modified versions of prerrequisites in
https://github.com/serras/scion-ghc-7-requisites. I hope that this helps.

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] GHC 7 support in Scion

[JP M. <jpm...@gm...>]

Yes, I had started looking at it and did the same thing as you (play
around with list-tries, ghc-syb-utils, etc). Have you notified the
maintainers of these packages so they can upload GHC7-compatible
versions of the packages onto Hackage?
Thanks very much for your efforts!
I think the best way to proceed for you is to put your changes in
Scion on github in a fork from mine, so then I can pull them in when
everything is ok.

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] GHC 7 support in Scion

[Alejandro S. M. <tr...@gm...>]

I've been working on it for the last couple of days. I first tried to remove
the bounds on GHC. I also upgraded some of the versions of the packages, and
had to rebuild "list-tries" and "ghc-syb-utils" to remove the compile-time
dependence on GHC 6.12 and use GHC 7.0.
After adding some new instances of Search and tweaking things a bit, Scion
is compiling. However, I think it is not going to work yet, because the type
HsWrapper used in scion/lib/Inspect/TypeOf.hs has changed significantly from
version 6.12 [
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.3/html/libraries/ghc-6.12.3/HsBinds.html#t:HsWrapper]
to version 7.0.2 [
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.2/html/libraries/ghc-7.0.2/HsBinds.html#t:HsWrapper],
and I don't know how to make it work.
Is there any place where I can commit the new code so more people can take a
look at it and try to make it work? I think that for somebody who knows the
GHC internals, it will be matter of a second.
In any case, I've taking care of adding all the new things between
conditional compilation directive for GHC 7, and to change the Cabal file so
differences between 6.12 and 7.0 are taken care (for example, exporting
'syb' in 7.0 instead of 'ghc-syb' in 6.12).

Thanks in advance

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] GHC 7 support in Scion

[JP M. <jpm...@gm...>]

Yes, now that there's a new haskell platform available we should
support it. What you can do is extract the scion code, tweak the
scion.cabal file to remove the upper bound on GHC, and see if it
builds. Then use the generated exe in the Scion preferences.

[eclipsefp-develop] GHC 7 support in Scion

[Alejandro S. M. <tr...@gm...>]

Hello,
I've been using EclipseFP for several months. Yesterday, a new Haskell
Platform package was uploaded, which includes GHC 7.0.2 as the default
compiler.
I've tried to use the new Platform in my EclipseFP installation [Eclipse
Helios, Mac OS X 10.6] but the scion-server refuses to compile because of a
dependency on GHC < 6.13. I've looked at the new ghc API package and seems
very close to the old one, and I think all of the dependencies on scion are
built correctly in GHC 7 according to Hackage.
Is there any idea on how to add support for GHC 7? If so, I wouldn't mind
helping tweakening some files...

Thanks in advance

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] Launch with command line args

[JP M. <jpm...@gm...>]

I think it's not there in 2.0.2, but I fixed it back in 2.0.3. If your
project defines an executable, you can launch it by right clicking on
the haskell project -> Run as -> HAskell application. You can set the
arguments in the launch configuration property page.
Of course you can always run any module in GHCi.

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] Auto-install for missing packages

[JP M. <jpm...@gm...>]

The UI in project properties only let you add packages that you've
already installed (packages listed through ghc-pkg list). But yes, if
you manually edit the Cabal file and add a dependency that ghc-pkg

[eclipsefp-develop] Auto-install for missing packages

[Hauschild, K. (EXT) <kla...@si...>]

Hi,

Please forget about the previous mail omiting the subject...

I think it would be a nice feature if EclipseFP automatically installs a missing package on adding it to a project.

Hi,

I think it would be a nice feature if EclipseFP automatically installs a missing package on adding it to a project.

Hi,

Is it possible to launch a Hakell project from EclipseFP and provide command line args?

Hmmm... I'm not entirely sure that I'm totally off base. I'll test on Monday when I'm behind the corporate firewall.

Huh? Cabal-install deals fine with proxies defined in Windows. I have
a machine that uses a proxy and don't have any issue. Klaus' issue is
that if you have NOT defined your proxy at your OS level, but at the
Eclipse level, we ignore it. Hence, the changes I made reads the
Eclipse information and if it is set passes it to Cabal using the
documented Cabal parameters.

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] (no subject)

[Scott M. <sco...@gm...>]

Bug/misfeature I can think of and need to test: Win32 eclipse doesn't store or prompt for pass if needed. Might cause interesting bug reports for people behind authenticating proxies, where the proxy password changes daily (hint: this confirms that there's a real user at the keyboard.)

BTW it's a misfeature of Java, not windows.

Sorry for the late reply into this discussion. It's an impedance mismatch between a Unix and Win32 environment, I'm guessing. KDE and Gnome handle setting the environment for you (mostly), whereas the Win32 API deals with proxies differently and you really need to use the API. That doesn't help for a Unix-based program like cabal-install.

I'm sure that JP just hacked in support for HTTP_PROXY, although http_proxy seems to be more common. Might want to beg the Cabal maintainers to consider supporting the Win32 API to avoid these issues in the future.

Re: [eclipsefp-develop] (no subject)

[JP M. <jpm...@gm...>]

Ok, done. It will appear in 2.0.3. If you have a proxy defined in
Eclipse that would be used by Eclipse to access
http://hackage.haskell.org, then cabal install scion will use it,
through the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.

Hi JP,

Sorry for the missing subject ;-)

this was my solution: configure the proxy for cabal outside of eclipse. And it works now.
I think this feature makes eclipse-fp wokring for more people out-of-the-box, especially for haskell beginners like me.

Thanks

It would probably be possible, but you need to have Cabal configured
with your proxy outside of EclipseFP, don't you? For example, we don't
run "cabal update" for you, we just recommend to do it before
installing scion. If your cabal is configured to use your proxy, will
the scion install work properly?

[eclipsefp-develop] (no subject)

[Hauschild, K. (EXT) <kla...@si...>]

Hi,

I think there is a problem at the automatic installation of the built-in scion-server in eclipse-fp behind a proxy. In my eclipse preferences was the proxy server configured but the cabal commands failed with timeouts.
After exporting the environment variable "HTTP_PROXY" and restarting eclipse und force rebuild of the scion-server the cabal commands will succeed.

Is it possible to pass the eclipse configured proxy to cabal?

Thanks, Michael. For what it's worth, I actually do all of my scion-server

Done in github. Both GHC and Cabal are autodetected from the path. An
autodetect button was added to the GHC implementation preference page. A
nice side effect is that then scion is built automatically. So you install
EclipseFP, and when you restart Eclipse, it finds GHC and Cabal
automatically and builds scion server straight away.

I'm revamping completion processing. I'm pretty close to having type constructor completions done. Ordinary function completions might be included if we're shooting for a couple of weeks. Main problem is capturing "last known good" data from the last successful background type check. Think I have the situation under control.

This is done in github. A lot of the initial tab preferences have
disappeared, and we now use the text editors preferences. I've only kept the
spaces for tab + tab width for Haskell and Cabal since these may be specific
to these editors. The Typing tab has disappeared so that its content are in
the initial tab. So right click and toggle line numbers now work. Right
click and choosing Preferences... open Text Editors AND Haskell Editor
pages.

Thanks for the feedback, these things are not that hard to implement/change
and if it means it makes the software a little less strange for new users,
all the better.

Er, I don't know. I'd be inclined to release pretty soon, as in a matter of
weeks, as I believe in the "release often" mantra. But Scott probably needs
some time to finish things off, and I'm sure there still some big bugs
lurking that I should hammer out...
