gregweber/ghc-haskell-dev repository overview

⁠A docker container for hacking on GHC

This is on the docker registry as ghc-haskell-dev. To use, mount your GHC source code into /home/ghc

sudo docker run --rm -i -t -v `pwd`:/home/ghc gregweber/ghc-haskell-dev /bin/bash

You are now ready to compile GHC! There is one final setup step to run once you have the image up:

arc install-certificate

This places a .arcrc file (which is git ignored) in your repo arc is a tool to interface with phabricator, the main ghc development tool. When you have a patch ready, run:

arc diff
