GNU/Linux

Haskell support on various Linux distributions. How to find Haskell applications and tools, contribute new packages, and get help for your distribution.

• Download GHC for Linux

Mostly distributions should provide:

• GHC
• Core libraries
• Core development tools
• Cabal and cabal-install

Optionally they provide parts of the emerging Haskell Platform.

Debian GNU/Linux

Debian Gnu/Linux provides a good toolchain for Haskell development

• Libraries: The most important packages are available in the stable, testing and unstable trees.
• Applications:
• Mailing list: debian-haskell
• Wiki:
• IRC channel: #debian-haskell @ irc.debian.org
• Making new packages: .deb from .cabal is a fairly easy process.

Fedora

Fedora Haskell SIG Page

• Applications/Libraries: Closed package reviews CC'd to fedora-haskell-list
• Mailing list: fedora-haskell-list
• IRC channel: The #fedora-haskell IRC channel on Freenode

Slackware Linux

Slackware does not have official Haskell support.

An unofficial Slackware repository for Haskell tools, library and programs is available here. This repository works with slapt-get and swaret.

Tools: slackbuild

Ubuntu

This is pretty much the same as Debian, providing you add the 'universe' and/or 'multiverse' repositories, which import Debian packages and recompile them to match Ubuntu dependencies. The exact versions of packages may be different from Debian, but they tend to be ahead of Debian stable (sometimes by a long way).

RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux 5 and 6 and Fedora 16 and 17
