From 3f91002509b2973edac3cd083bbf2d57fd7948e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sky Christensen Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2018 22:15:27 -0700 Subject: Update readme.md This PR just adds a note about Xmobar versions 0.27 and up requiring GHC 8.0.2 or later. Debian Stretch (stable) is pinned to GHC 8.0.1, so this will presumably be an issue for some Debian users for the next year or so until the next Debian release. I'm not sure if this warrants adding a note about it to the docs, but it was something that tripped me up, so I thought I'd send a PR and let you decide if you think it belongs in the README. Don't feel bad if you decide to not merge this PR! Thanks. --- readme.md | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/readme.md b/readme.md index 2022adf..67d6544 100644 --- a/readme.md +++ b/readme.md @@ -38,6 +38,8 @@ Xmobar is available from [Hackage], and you can install it using cabal install xmobar +Xmobar versions >= 0.27 require GHC version >= 8.0.2. + See below for a list of optional compilation flags that will enable some optional plugins.
