GHCJS

PPA description

This is a companion PPA to https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc (the packages in this PPA depend upon those from it) providing GHCJS conveniently packaged for (some) Ubuntu releases.

The packages install into the respective

  /opt/ghcjs/$version

and are intended to be used via e.g.

  cabal v2-build --ghcjs -w /opt/ghcjs/8.4/bin/ghcjs

or, when `/opt/ghcjs/8.4/bin` is added to $PATH, via e.g.

  cabal v2-build --ghcjs -w ghcjs-8.4

*********************
***** IMPORTANT *****
*********************

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty ships with a version of Node.js that is way too old! Ubuntu 16.04 LTS contains Node.js 4.x by default which has been reported to occasionally fail to run GHCJS generated code. To be on the safe side, you should at least use Node.js 6.x (NB: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS provides Node.js 8.x).

WARNING: Node.js 10.1.0 is known not to work (TH runner process hangs; Node.js 6.x, 8.x, and 11.x are expected to work).

Generally, if more recent versions of Node.js are needed than provided by your Ubuntu release, see https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
